Among the Indian bowlers, pacer Mohammed Shami remains the most searched followed by Umesh Yadav, R Ashwin and Mohit Sharma.
Similarly, Australian fans continue to show strong support for their team with a surge in searches around their national team a day before the clash.
"Indian fans seem to agree with their Australian counterparts that the biggest threat to India is Australian striker Glenn Maxwell, who tops the search charts for the baggy greens both from India and Australia," it added.
Compared to Indian fans favouring batsmen, search trends by Aussie fans highlights a good balance with trends being a mix of their top batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders.
Maxwell is followed by Shane Watson, David Warner, Michael Clarke and Mitchell Starc, Google said.
