Finch feels the two wicketkeepers have the ability to shift the momentum in their team’s favour in the event of a top-order collapse. “I think the key could be Alex Carey and Rishabh Pant. The two wicketkeepers are going to be so important,” Finch said on Willow Talk Podcast when asked where this series is going to be won or lost.

“A time or other in series, the top order will get knocked over as both fast bowling attacks are so good and they will get on a roll. For me, it is that really crucial role of Alex at No. 7 and Rishabh at No. 6 likely,” he added. Both Pant, who played a key role in India’s series victory last time, and Carey are known for their aggressive brand of cricket.
“Carey is aggressive, Rishabh is aggressive. The game is going to go one or two ways really quick. And I think that will be so important. “Maybe when you are five down and the second new ball comes just before stumps and they take it for 50 that 10 overs before stumps, that changes the momentum of the game,” Finch said.
