India Faces Challenges Ahead of Test Series Against Australia
India seeks a third consecutive series win in Australia but grapples with team vulnerabilities and player absences.
- India's cricket team aims for a historic third straight series win in Australia, a feat achieved by only three other teams in history.
- Recent performance issues, including a 3-0 home series loss to New Zealand, have raised concerns about India's form and lineup.
- Key players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are struggling with form, and Sharma is likely to miss the first Test due to family commitments.
- Jasprit Bumrah is expected to lead the team in Perth, with his bowling seen as a critical factor against the Australian batsmen.
- Australia's team, led by experienced players like Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja, remains formidable despite debates over their opening lineup.
