- Ishant Sharma:
Like Virat Kohli, pacer Ishant Sharma’s game ascends to the very next level when the team in context is Australia. Sharma has been a mighty thorn in Australia’s flesh, as the lanky pacer has troubled numerous Aussie batsmen. Considering his record against this very team, and his improved form off late, he should be given a berth ahead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the team. Sharma will look to be on top of the Australian batsmen throughout for sure.
