Team India and Australia are all set to face-off in a gruelling series that will feature three ODIs, as many T20Is, and four Tests that will be played as part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The one-dayers will get underway on Friday, November 27, with the first match at Sydney. While Team India will be led by Virat Kohli, Australia’s captaincy is in the hands of Aaron Finch, who endured a horror IPL 2020 with the bat for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The last time India visited Australia in 2018-19, they had an impressive run overall. Apart from clinching the historic Test series Down Under for the first time, they even triumphed in the one-dayers 2-1, thanks mainly to the excellence of MS Dhoni and their bowlers.
Finch and his men will undoubtedly be keen to put up a better show when the teams resume their rivalry
