IND vs AUS Key Players

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been in good touch in ODIs and now with a really nice century in the final Test he will be coming out with a lot more confidence.

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is coming back after missing six months of cricket due to a freak injury. The injury saw him miss a chance on reviving his Test career which now seems long gone. Maxwell though remains a huge part of the white-ball set up and with him back, the batting line-up looks a lot more deeper.
