IND vs AUS: 5 player battles to watch out for

5. Josh Hazelwood-KL Rahul

Josh Hazelwood, the No. 1 ranked T20I bowler in the world, is one of the most improved cricketers in the shortest format of the game. He was regarded as an out-and-out Test bowler because of his nagging lines and lengths. But the Aussie quick has added several variations to his game, adapting to white-ball cricket.

Indian opening batter KL Rahul is struggling to regain his form after a lengthy injury layoff. The stylish batter was troubled at the crease in the Zimbabwe series and did not look like himself in the recently concluded Asia Cup.

Much like Finch, Rahul is susceptible in the early stages of the innings, especially against the inswinging deliveries. Hazelwood is too good a bowler to overlook that weakness and will test the Indian star's resolve in the upcoming series.
