India head coach Ravi Shastri is confident that his team will emerge victorious in the four-match Test series in Australia despite the 1-4 series loss in England earlier this year. "Playing for a win... 100 per cent," said Shastri when asked about the team's approach while competing against Australia Down Under. On the recent England tour, Kohli & Co displayed the right kind of desire to win instead drawing games.

"Nothing will change; it is just about seizing those moments, getting tough mentally when the going gets tough. We have learnt our lessons. If we are mentally tough, we will do better," Shastri added. Earlier, before India's South Africa tour (in 2017-18) where India lost the Test series 1-2, Shastri said the next 18 months were going to define this Indian team.
