The stats that not augur well for India at Adelaide Oval

Virat Kohli- Its not Mitchell Johnson stand in captain should be worried about. Peter Siddle is another pacer who must be playing on back of Virat's mind. Siddle has dismissed him four times in 11 innings. His average is poor 24.50. He had scored only 98 runs at a strike rate of 39.52 during his last tour. The 26-year-old struggled in his last Test series away against England, posting only 134 runs from 10 innings as he failed to handle the seam and swing of James Anderson and Stuart Broad.

Ishant Sharma- The lanky Indian fast bowler has taken 34 wickets in the past 12 months, the most by any Indian. Sharma's 34 wickets from seven matches puts him comfortably ahead of the next best bowler, Mohammed Shami on 21. The towering quick will be India's spearhead this summer, but his numbers in Australia don't make for pretty reading.

Ishant accounts for 11 wickets in Australia from two tours and seven Tests. An average of 73.55 and a strike rate of 124 balls per wicket don't look too good but his record against Australia's No.3, Shane Watson, is heartening, having dismissed the all-rounder five times in 12 innings.
