They wont. India will win this test, atleast 3 in Australia and will qualify in WTC finals in the process. Unfortunately for you there will not be a field day.

Their is no place at the top of the mountain for you, it belongs to me. You wanna stand tall, I will push you off the cliff.

Admit the truth, You wouldn't have stated this before the NZ series.

Prior it was all oh India will win, we're the best, We love our Indian cricketers more then our wives and children.

And now NZ was your first reckoning, Australia will be the 2nd and I will stay standing on the top of the mountain

LOL. You lose credibility when you make posts like this.

India couldn't beat NZ at home. Just so you know.

Last time Australia won a test series against India was when MS Dhoni used to be India's test captain. And I lose the credibility for saying we will beat Australia again?

Yes. Because your argument is fallacious as hell.

Time period correlations have nothing to do with the present situations at hand.

Same was said last time when we toured there. In Justin Langer's word "Never underestimate Indians"

It is an open challenge from me...we win this test and the BGT series that follows. Nothing can stop Bhartiya team.

No offence, But Indians overglorify themselves and their celebrities more then anyone else on the planet.

When Australia won the 2023 ODI WC, they barely celebrated it. Mitchell Marsh even put his feet on the trophy like it was no big deal.

Indians celebrated 2024 World T20 like there was no tomorrow. They indeed overglorify themselves.

It's understandable, Their an emotional cry baby nation habits. They can deny it all they want but it's a fact that Indians are very emotional people.

That is bcoz cricket is not a popular sport in Australia. Even when England won the world cup and they were playing live streaming in Trafalgar Sqaure, not many bothered. If and when England or Australia wins a football world cup for example you will see 10 times the celebration compared to what India did after world t20 win.

Again, this post may get deleted by admins as it is not on topic but open a new thread and I can educate you more on this subject.

Jasprit Bumrah is likely to miss the third and final Test of the series against New Zealand in Mumbai. Bumrah was with the team when they began training at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, but all he did were some light fitness work and some fielding drills. He did not bowl during either of the training sessions that India had at the stadium.

It is understood that Bumrah doesn't have an injury, and it's not known yet if the team management wanted to rest him or Bumrah himself wanted to be rested.
