5 reasons Australian bowlers should be beware of the Indian batting line-up

5. Rohit Sharma

The talented Rohit Sharma scored 2 fifties and 1 century in this World Cup, but all against non-top 5 teams in ODI rankings. But India is happy that he is making runs so he is back in form.

Australia still remember his 209 in 2014, though he has added a 264 to that, Australia know despite looking like a turtle with his slow starts, he can finish the game with a lion like innings.  If he sticks there in the middle around enough, be rest assured that India will move towards a big total. His fielding prowess is well known and he can roll his arm over as well.

His problem is around the off stump and if Starc or Johnson could get one to go across him, India could have a major setback in the beginning either in a chase or  setting a target.
