India lead the series 2-1

Team India will be entering the Sydney Test high on confidence as they lead the series 2-1. Kohli and his men have a historic chance to win a Test series in Australia.

India won the first Test at Adelaide while Australia came back strongly at Perth to win the second Test. But courtesy of solid batting by Cheteshwar Pujara and some fine bowling in particular by Jasprit Bumrah, India won the third Test to lead the series 2-1.

Two spinners at Sydney?

India have included three spinners for the Sydney Test which is a strong indication that the team management will play two spinners. KL Rahul who was dropped for the third Test makes a comeback as well to fill Rohit Sharma’s place.
