Legendary fast bowler Glenn McGrath has proclaimed that India is still Australia’s ‘ultimate challenge’ in the international circuit. Australia have not managed to win a bilateral series in India since 2004, and notably, McGrath was part of that squad to help his side register an away series win.

Cheteshwar Pujara was at his best during the final Test match of the series against Australia at Gabba in Brisbane where the batter had to endure multiple body blows. The right-handed batter revealed that it only motivated him, even more, to do well and he was focused on winning the game.

Mitchell Starc’s wife Alyssa Healy said that the Australian pacer was reluctant to feature in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar trophy due to his father's illness. However, Starc joined the team after his father convinced him to play the series, and scalped 11 wickets from four Tests against India.

Former Australia spinner Steve O'Keefe feels that the Kangaroos should field three frontline spinners for the subcontinent Tests in 2022. The 36-year-old believes that Mitchell Swepson and Ashton Agar are ready to support Australia's premier spinner, Nathan Lyon when it comes to the Asian challenge.
