IND C vs AUS C: Probable Best Performers of the Match Probable Best Batter: Yusuf Pathan Yusuf Pathan has been one of India’s finest performers in the Legends League matches.

Even though he is 43 years old, he has not lost his strength. Yusuf can cross even the biggest boundaries very easily. He shouldn’t face much difficulty clearing the ropes at Sharjah.

Probable Best Bowler: Harbhajan Singh Harbhajan Singh is going to play a key role and don’t be surprised to see him take the new ball, if Australia open with the Warner-Khawaja duo. The off-spinner can be lethal if there is even a little bit of assistance from the surface. He is one of those Indian players who has always brought his A-game against the Australian team.
