Indian national cricket team is all set to visit Australia again in December 2020 after IPL-13. The test series , although Australia seeing surge in daily Corona virus cases , if conducted will bring a sigh of relief for Cricket Australia as it will generate around 16 billion Australian Dollars . So, Cricket Australia will try its level best to smoothly conduct this test series.
There will be a day-night match in Adelaide which will certainly test Indian batting line-up and also attract attention from all over the world . The challenge has become more pronounced with India winning the the test series in 2018-19 after 71 years and becoming the first Asian team to do so.
The success of Indian team is hailed to aggressive approach of Indian skipper modern day great Virat Kohli and fierce bowling line up comprising of the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Shami who have got an unbelievable success everywhere around the globe under the leadership of Kohli.
Ishant Sharma has emerged as India's best bowler with a strike rate of 19.1 since Kohli has assumed the charge of skipper which is generally called as second version of Ishant. Mohammad Shami second innings record has been one of the crucial things for India to win overseas . Jasprit Bumrah has been a force to reckon with since his debut in South Africa helping India to some of the famous overseas wins by striking at crux situations.
The famous spell of Bumrah in first innings or Shami's spell in second Innings at Wanderers in third test versus South Africa was the beginning of Indian bowling line up towards fierceness. The brutal spell of Indian bowlers at Perth 2018 was one of best soothing sight to watch as an Indian cricket fan with Indian bowlers hitting ball onto the body of batsman at will . Bowlers managed to let India remain in game at every point in England though the batsman especially top order and number 5-8 could not cooperate or even provide a little assistance or the result of series would hace been different.
Indian recent brutal loss in NZ once again proved that the greatness of Indian Batting line up lies only on paper.
It again highlighted the incompetence of Indian batsman in foreign condition,given Pujara and especially Kohli does not score ,the situation becomes even more worse. The defeat threw light on the fact that India seems to be in a fighting situation only because of Kohli's batting. Be it Adelaide or Perth 2012, Johannesberg 2013 ,Wellington ,Adelaide,Melbourne,Sydney 2014 or Centurion,Perth ,Edgebaston,Southamton, Melbourne or the famous win at one of the most difficult pitch one can ever imagine at Wanderers.
In recent times , Pujara has also becoming a significant chapter of Indian batting overseas given his contribution in Wanderers,Nottingham or his three daddy hundreds in Australia.
Virat Kohli last visit to Australia, was not what the skipper had desired as per his standards though played one of the best innings in his career or one could ever witness as called "Batting of highest Order" by the commentators. He would like to compel the Australian bowling line up refresh the wounds given by him in 2014 where he scored 692 runs with four hundreds in four matches. Pujara will again try to remain rock solid in the upcoming tour to prove his mattle as Mr Dependant for India. Indian bowling line up has remained the best as a unit for last 4-5 years and will continue to wreak havoc in the upcoming series.
Now the success of Indian team will depend on how our openers especially Rohit Sharma fares against Aussie Challenge as Mayank Aggarwal had performed brilliantly the last time. India had always longed for a good opening partnership which seems to be fullfilled with Rohit Mayank pair.
Indian middle order especially Rahane has to rise on the occasion as he has been in poor form since his twin hundreds at Delhi 2015. Once as most dependent in overseas is struggling for a handful of runs. The vice captain has to score to build a huge score over the foundation with Kohli provided by openers and Pujara rather making their efforts futile.
If India wants to win, batting line up has to score over 400 continuously given the return of ICC rank 1 batsman in Australian side back alongwith rise of a new sensation ICC rank
3 Marnus Labuschagne . It will only happen if Indian middle order: Rahane, Rishabh Pant ,Jadeja or Ashwin scores and openers give India a flying start.
