- ICC Cricketer of the Year 2015, the Australian skipper Steve Smith, is churning out runs for fun. While his team has benefited thanks to his form, oppositions, including India, have been at the receiving end of Smith's assault. (Photo: AP)
- With Mitchell Johnson retired from international cricket and Mitchell Starc out with injury, Josh Hazlewood would be leader of Australia's pace attack. Termed as next Glenn McGrath by many, the tall pacer would pose a great threat to Indian batsmen with his swing, accuracy and bounce. (Photo: AP)
- The left-arm pacer is all set to make his ODI debut following his impressive show in the warm-up games against Australia. Although he has not played a single international game as yet, the Punjab pacer, who was termed as next Zaheer Khan by Yuvraj Singh, would relish bowling on the Australian pitches. (Photo: AFP)
- For Virat Kohli, the ODI batsman, 2015 did not pan out the way he would have wanted. But India's Test skipper has enjoyed batting on the Australian wickets in the past and would be keen to have a go at the Australian bowling attack. (Photo: BCCI)
- R Ashwin's stock as one of the better modern-day spinners is on rise following a successful 2015 where he scalped 62 Test wickets and finished at top of world rankings in the list of bowlers and all-rounders. The wily off-spinner would pose a lot of questions to Australian batsmen on pitches that would offer bounce. (Photo: BCCI)
