Former captain Aaron Finch believes Rishabh Pant and Alex Carey will be crucial in determining outcome of Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Finch feels two wicketkeepers have ability to shift momentum in ir team's favour in event of a top-order collapse.

"I think key could be Alex Carey and Rishabh Pant . 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 or in series top order will get knocked over as both fast bowling attacks are so good and y will get on a roll. For me, it is that really crucial role of Alex at number seven and Rishabh at number six likely." Both Pant, who played a key role in India's series victory last time, and Carey are known for ir aggressive brand of cricket.

"Carey is aggressive, Rishabh is aggressive. 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 second new ball comes just before stumps and y take it for 50 that 10 overs before stumps, that changes momentum of game."
