Both (Kohli and Smith) will bat at number four, so the key is to try to get them as early as possible. Early wickets to introduce them to the new ball will make a huge difference. I will always side with Steve Smith, I think his record is outstanding, but it will be a very good match, Finch told Star Sports.

He said the India-Australia rivalry brings out the best in both teams.

I think the rivalry is so highly regarded in both countries that I think it brings out the best in both teams, he added.

Obviously, India have beaten Australia in the last three series, so both teams will be at their best wherever they play — home, away or neutral ground. It’s just a must watch.
