Brett Lee with 33 wickets from 16 innings is the leading wicket-taker in India vs Australia matches in Australia. Lee is followed by Irfan Pathan with 22 wickets from 14 innings and Kapil Dev with 21 wickets from 20 innings. No other current Indian bowler can come close to even 20 wickets in the upcoming series. However, it would be wonderful to see Jasprit Bumrah perform vs Steve Smith and Co.
