The Indian team is to tour Australia in the month of November for a 5 match test series. Before this high voltage series starting from 22nd November, Australia has started making statements. Like every time, former Australian cricketers have started creating an atmosphere in favor of their team. Recently, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting had claimed that the Indian team will lose this series 1-3. Now the current captain of the team has also blown the trumpet regarding the series. Pat Cummins has sent a special message for Rohit Sharma's team about 3 months before the start of the series.

Cummins anxious to win

Team India has returned after defeating Australia on both the previous tours. Now under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, they would like to score a hat-trick of victories in Australia. At the same time, the Australian team has not been able to win a Test series against India in the last 10 years. Therefore, Pat Cummins is desperate to defeat India. The Australian captain said that it has been a long time since his team has not been successful against India. India has been winning continuously for many times. Now the time has come to change the old result. He took inspiration from the World Test Championship to defeat India. However, Cummins did not take India lightly. He said that the series is going to be very difficult and the chances of winning are 50-50.

Pat Cummins' preparation

Pat Cummins is really serious about defeating India this time. He has not sent a message to India just like that. He has already started preparing for it. Cummins recently took a 2-month long leave to prepare for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He said that he had been playing cricket continuously for 1.5 years and needed rest to prepare against India.
