Will India retain the Border Gavaskar trophy? India will aim to win the series. However, this would be a huge challenge for India without Kohli from the second test and with the return of modern day great Steve Smith and Warner for Australia.

India will be playing their second pink ball test and will have to face one of the best bowling attacks in the form of Hazlewood, Starc, Cummins and Lyon.

Australia have a top order worry and will miss Warner- Pukovski in the first test. Marcus Harris and Shaun Marsh might open in Adelaide.
