India’s fast bowlers have been rampant in Tests matches in 2019. They were all over West Indies in the two away Tests before impressively getting the better of South Africa and Bangladesh at home. However, 2020 will present a tougher challenge to the Indian pacers as the team will be playing two away Tests in New Zealand, four Down Under, and five at home against England. In the wake of the same, here’s a look at five batsmen who can stand up to Indian pace bowlers in the World Test Championship.

STEVE SMITH The former Aussie skipper Steve Smith may have amassed 774 runs in the Ashes against England. However, his love for the Indian bowling attack is no secret, irrespective of the venue. Of course, India’s fast bowling has improved tremendously since the last time Smith played a Test against India. So, it would be intriguing to see how the battle pans out Down Under. For the record, in four Tests at home against India Smith has a total of 769 runs at a stupendous average of 128.16 with four hundreds at a best of 192.
