India vs Australia Tests Full Schedule, Match Timings, Free Live Streaming Details, Playing 11
Test cricket action will be back in Adelaide on December 17. Team India will open its first ever-Test campaign in the post-coronavirus era. This is going to be an important series from the perspective of both the teams i-e- Australia and India. It will help them in grabbing important points for the ongoing ICC Test championship.
Virat Kohli & Co. looks in fine touch in every respective department of the game. Rishabh Pant smashed a convincing ton followed by Hanuma Vihari and Shubhman Gill knocks that showed that Team India’s practice is well on track. Although they will be without the services of their regular skipper after the 1st Test. But, still, they look enough strong to defeat the hosts.
On the other hand, Australia is struggling with the injuries of their main players towards the final moments of the practice games. They will heavily rely on their star batsmen Steve Smith, Marnus Labuchagne, and heavy-duty bowling unit comprising of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazelwood, and others.
Back in 2018-19, Team India registered a historic Test series win over Australia by 2-1. Let’s see if they can manage to roll out the same kind of performance in the upcoming series or not.
