What are your expectations from the Indian team in the forthcoming series?
People shouldn’t look at what happened against New Zealand and disregard the Indian batting line-up. Will it be an easy win for Australia? I don’t think so. This Indian batting line-up prefers pitches where the ball comes onto them. They could have been better, but the batters will stand up. The only challenge for India is how the bowling support will be for Bumrah.

What about Virat Kohli’s form?
Virat will hold the key again, and he should come through. He is too good a player to miss out on Australian conditions. Virat has done exceptionally well there. So, it will revolve around how he copes and his form. If he can do what he did a few years ago in Australia, India have a great chance to get the better of the Aussies. Let’s remember that the Aussies have lost two series back to back. They understand that they are under extreme pressure because India are one team that can beat Australia in Australia. It has happened twice in a row.
