Leading the spin-balling attack will be young teenage leggie, Yuzvendra Chahal. While bowling on a ground as small as the Chinnaswamy stadium, Chahal's strength lies in tossing the ball up whilst inviting the batsmen to go for the big shots, and with Australian team constituting a plethora of them, Chahal's variations will hold the key in the middle-overs.

This aforementioned quality was epitomized to the hilt in the recently concluded limited over series in South Africa where the vile leg-spinner foxed the batsman with the turn and guile. Chahal has featured in 23 ODI thus far and has already claimed 43 wickets at an average of 21.84 and an economy of 4.76.

#9 Kuldeep Yadav

The Mystery spin

The mystery spin is the flavor of the season, and with a plethora of right-handed batsmen in the Aussie line-up like Michael Clarke, Smith and Faulkner, Yadav's variations can weave a stranglehold on their famed batting line-up.

Kuldeep, who took a hat-trick against Australia at the Eden Gardens, has already accumulated 39 wickets at an average of 20.03 and a strike-rate of 25.03, and his combination with Chahal will prove to be an ideal foil in the middle-overs.
