Steve smith
The Australian batting star has an exceptional batting record in Indian conditions. He has scored 660 runs in six matches and 12 innings at an average of 60.00. He has three hundreds and one half-century with his bat, with a best score of 178*. With these numbers, Smith is a clear threat. Indian bowlers will have to plan well to beat them.
Usman Khawaja
Khawaja hasn’t had a good Test record against India so far but has been one of the key players in the longer format since being recalled in early 2022. He scored 1,080 runs in 11 matches at an average of 67.50 with four centuries and five fifties and a career-best 195. It will be interesting to see how he fares in the subcontinent conditions this time around.
Marques labushen
The world’s number one Test batsman has a good record against India. He has scored 464 runs in five matches with two fifties. His range of shots, ability to stay at the crease for long and convert good starts into big scores can definitely prove to be a big threat.
Nathan lyon
In India’s spin-friendly conditions, there is little doubt about Lion’s ability and chances to succeed. He has already taken 34 wickets in seven matches. He will undoubtedly be the biggest threat to India.
Scott Boland
Scott Boland has been impressive in his short Test career so far. He has already taken 28 wickets in six matches. He can also take a wicket every 30 balls. In the absence of players like Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green, he is someone who would really like to succeed.
