IND vs AUS: Who will win Test series between India and Australia?
India is all set to host Australia for the four-match Test series this month. The first game between the nations will be played on February 9th in Nagpur followed by the second Test to be played on 17th February in Delhi. The third game between the teams is slated to take place on 1st March in Dharamshala whereas the last game will be played on 9th March in Ahmedabad.
The series will be extremely crucial in context of World Test Championship as it’ll most likely decide the finalists of the tournament. While Australia is almost a certain pick for the final, it India manages to beat them in upcoming series, they will be through and two teams will take each other in the final.
With series just a few days away from now, many fans and pundits have started making the predictions. While many have backed India to win, few have rooted for Australia, considering the kind of form they are in.
Former English skipper Michael Vaughan too has joined the bandwagon. The cricketer-turned-commentator was asked by a fan on his Twitter account to pick one among the teams who will win the series. He without wasting much time backed India to win the series.
