Having lifted the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India only once in 2004/05, and then losing it unprecedentedly not once but two times over in the past two years at home, Australia could have not been more desperate to get the better of the formidable Indian team this time around.

With quite some brouhaha in the past couple of days over the nature of the pitch, the first Test of the four-match series commences in just a couple of hours from now, at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur.
Team India will be without the services of their star performers in Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah for the entire series, while the Aussies are without their two experienced pacers – Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc for at least the first Test.
With the batting departments quite bankable for both the sides, the traditional spin friendly pitches in India hand the hosts an advantageous position over the visitors, who only have Nathan Lyon as the experienced spinner in the squad.
