4. Josh Hazlewood vs Murali Vijay
Considering the hype surrounding Mitchell Starc, Australia’s dark horse Josh Hazlewood will be equally efficient on the un-Aussie tracks in India. Having known to keep things tight, Hazlewood has portrayed threat on almost every occasion he has bowled in. Though, not pacy enough to trouble, Hazlewood won’t be easy to get away.
To nullify his presence in the longer run, India’s Murali Vijay will have a role to play. Owing a history of playing swing well, Vijay wouldn’t mind coming up against him, considering his reputation as a top-order batsman.
Having played against him in past, the Tamil Nadu batsman would know a bit or two about Hazlewood’s bowling.
