The much-awaited India tour of Australia is all set to 💮begin from Friday (November 27) where both the teams will play the three-match ODI series op✱ener. After the ODI le༒g, the Aussies will host India in the three-match T20I series.
Although the white-ball series is significant for both the nations, but fans as well as cricket experts are eagerly waiting for the 4-match Test series, which starts from December 17. The first Test of the Border-Gavaskar trophy will tak🏅e place at Adelaide Oval, and it will be a day-night contest.
However, the worrying aspect for Indian cricket fans is that after the completion of the first Test, skipper Virat Kohli will return to India to attend the birth of his firsꦛt child. Many cricket analysts are of the opinion that Kohli’s absence in the remaining t♎hree Tests will definitely impact Team India’s perfor🍨mance.
Speaking about the same, former Australia captain, Michael Clarke has reckoned that the visiting team might face a complete whitewash in the upcoming red-ball battle. Clarke said that India could be ‘smoked 4-0’ in the Border-Gavaskar trophy if their skipper Kohli does not set the tone in the limited-overs series befor𝓀e his departure.
“These one-dayers and these T20s is where Virat Kohli can really stand up and lead from the front. If India don’t have success in the one-dayers and the T20s, they are in deep trouble in the Test matches, and they’ll get smoked 4-0, in my opinion,” said Clarke on ‘Sky Sports Radio’.
