Targeting the Achilles heel: India's chance to do the unprecedented in Australia

India TV News  

India first travelled to Australia in 1947 and since then, they have never been able to pull off a series win Down Under. Steve Smith and David Warner's expulsion has taken a heavy toll on Australia since the infamous ball-tampering saga in South Africa in March. On the other hand, India last won a Test match Down Under 15 years ago, in Adelaide when Rahul Dravid's 233 led India to beat Australia by 4 wickets. Even though with the fair amount of grass on the Adelaide pitch for the 1st Test India can rely on Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara as other than being Test specialists, the two have put in the hours in the nets, played County Cricket and seemed comfortable at the SCG during the practice match. The former scored a ton in just his third Test match in England at the Oval, whereas the latter makes his return to the Test squad since the tour of South Africa.
