Shikhar Dhawan
The top-order batting was proving to be a headache for Indian team management. But who better than Shikhar Dhawan could have offered a solution scoring 74 runs amidst the collapsing batting order.

The left-hander enjoys a great form against Australia as he scored 1049 runs in 25 innings.
David Warner
David Warner is yet another name which gave a tough time to the Indian pacers. The left-hander stumped the opponents with his batting. Mumbai Shardul Thakur was his favourite one as he went on to attack him left, right and center. Out of the 16 innings played by the Australian has scored 820 runs with a stunning average of 54.66.
Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma might have got dismissed early in the first game, but the Hitman has surely built a great reputation for himself in 2019 when it came to a 50 over format. Moreover, Australia happens to be his favourite opponent. From the 38 innings he played against Australia, he has scored seven hundreds and eight fifties. The Hitman has scored 2047 runs against Australia.
KL Rahul
With three openers available for selection, KL Rahul proved his worth by scoring 47 runs, just after Rohit Sharma lost his wicket. The wicket-keeper batsman might have lost his wicket before scoring 50 runs, he will surely look forward to continuing his momentum.
