Australia's fresh WTC challenge for Team India with 1st WI Test win as Rohit and Co. gear up for England Tests

Hindustan Times  

Having completed their final T20I assignment before the World Cup in June, Team India is off a mini-break. When they re-assemble early next week, the focus will shift back to the game's traditional format, with India set to take on England in a five-match Test series starting January 25. It will be India's third series in the ongoing World Test Championship cycle… and first on home soil, where they have remained unbeaten since 2012. And while India would be aiming to keep the streak alive against England, the last team that beat them at home, Australia, the defending WTC winners, have added a fresh twist to the current Test Championship standings. India are all set to play a five-match Test against England at home starting January 25 Following their authoritative 3-0 win against Pakistan at home earlier this month, Australia put on yet another clinical show to take down a depleted West Indies at the Adelaide Oval, wrapping up the first match of the two-Test series inside three days.
