Indian cricketers arrived in Australia ready to exploit a home team beset by turmoil on and off the field. A maiden test series win on Australian soil is the main aim of the tour.
"It's the one place where we want to leave our mark and do well as a unit," India's vice-captain Rohit Sharma told at a news conference on Monday, 12 November. "The last time we played a test series here — although we lost two games and we drew one game — I thought there were a few close games being played. We want to make it count this time around. There's a real good feeling inside the group," he said.
As far as Sharma and the India contingent is concerned, Australia cricket has never been more susceptible to losing at home. India has won only five tests in Australia – three in the 1970s and early 80s – one in 2004 and one in '08.
