This might be the first time in over three decades that Australia isn’t the favourites at home. The fact is surprising but it is true! Australians lack confidence, they lack fire and they are in a sort of transition period. Facing the #1 ranked side might turn out to be a tough job this Australian. The team's current form and the squad doesn't really put any solid arguments in their favour.
When we look at the Indian side, then names like Virat Kohli, Cheteshwara Pujara and Ravichandran Ashwin pop up as the men who strike fear in the opposition camp whereas the Australian side doesn't possess anyone like that.
There was a time when the Australian side was led by men like Ricky Ponting, Steve Waugh, Allan Border to name a few, men who made Australia a fearsome side, a side who was ruthless, a side who possessed an unmatched dominance at home.
Sadly, after the infamous ball tampering fiasco, things have looked bleak for the world champions and with the test series approaching, the bets are on Team India to win their first test series in Australia. A new era might be on its way!
