The dull uneven World Cup last brought up that issue once more: What does it take to prevent the Australians from being the heartless Australians? The answer is most likely covered up in the inquiry itself - Australians.

Only two weeks after that last, the match between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals, two groups that generally epitomize the Australian-ness in the IPL more than the rest, displays the mouth-watering prospect of seeing players from the World Cup winning side bolt their horns.

Will Mitchell Johnson pepper Shane Watson with bouncers? In what manner will George Bailey, one of Australia's late commanders, go about setting a field for Steven Smith, the new pioneer? What varieties will James Faulkner toss at that free thinker Glenn Maxwell? Any of those challenges could turn into the characterizing one of the match. And after that there is the more extensive conflict of two Australian attributes as well - Kings XI's full scale hostility v Royals' dauntless soul.

There will be different performers in this creation as well. The match pits India's two best batsmen from the most recent year against one another - M Vijay and Ajinkya Rahane, two rising stars - Axar Patel and Sanju Samson, two lespinners with bounty in like manner - Pravin Tambe and Yogesh Golwalkar, and two Delhi stalwarts - Virender Sehwag and Rajat Bhatia.

That the match is Kings XI's home diversion scarcely matters. The venue, Pune, is closer to Jaipur (by roughly 500 km) than to Chandigarh. The pitch used to be a dull surface however in the event that the proof of past two seasons of top notch cricket is anything to pass by, this ought to be a hard, level surface that the batsmen will savor, yet may additionally give something to the seamers. Does that sound like Australia?
