IND vs AUS: The first match of the 5-match Test series between India and Australia will be played in Perth from November 22. Team India needs to win this series because Team India's hopes of playing the WTC final rest on this series. Former Team India head coach and Rahul Dravid, who performed brilliantly in Australia, has reacted to this tour. He has told me what Team India will have to do to be successful on this tour.

When the Indian team tied the series during the 2003-04 tour of Australia, its hero was Rahul Dravid. Dravid scored runs at an average of 124. The Wall's record on Australian soil has been excellent. He has 1,166 runs in 16 Test matches against Australia.

Rahul Dravid's success mantra

Rahul Dravid said that the success of Team India in this series will depend on how the top order bats. He said that the new ball is very important in Australian conditions. It is very important to get runs from the top order. Whether it comes from number 2 or number 3 or number 4. You should score one or two runs from the top 4. In Australia's playing conditions, if you play the first session well, then your job becomes a little easier.

Dravid's opinion on number 3

Rahul Dravid has also praised Shubman Gill, who bats at number 3. However, Gill has been ruled out of the Perth Test due to injury. Gill made his debut as an opener during 2020-21. On that tour, he scored 259 runs at an average of 51.80. This also includes a historic innings of 91 runs played in Brisbane.
