India would be eager to win their third Test series in Australia on Trott
India have been extremely dominant on their last two tours to Australia. They clinched the series in 2018 and marked their first-ever series win down under. In the very next tour in 2020-21, they were superb as the second-string Indian team scripted history.
They would be hoping to achieve the same this time around and win their third consecutive series on Trott. This time around it would be an inexperienced team and under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, they would want to script history.
