Team India, who have never won a Test series in Australia, see their best chance at scripting history when they take on an inexperienced Australia side in a four-match series, starting in Adelaide on December 6.
Meanwhile, after their dismal tour of South Africa and England, Virat Kohli & Co will be hungry to overturn their history in Australia. The hosts, however, will be without Steven Smith and David Warner due to bans for their involvement in the ball-tampering scandals.
The top-ranked Test side are only too aware, though, of the dangers a team can pose at home. Besides, they know they will be facing young players highly determined to make a mark for themselves in the new set-up.
On the other hand, Australia’s main threat is their first-choice pace attack of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins. With the trio fit and finally reunited, the team will look to them to make early inroads into the opposition line-up. The canny Nathan Lyon will be backing them up. The spinner, after all, does have a good record against Kohli.
Although the Aussies have an unsettled batting unit, the bowlers will make this series a promising and challenging one.
