India vs Australia: How is Pat Cummins' side preparing for the mega India tour? Amazon documentary reveals. Read

India vs Australia Test series: India-Australia Test matches always draw the attention of the entire world. Australia set to tour India next month during its much-awaited series ahead of the World Test Championship final. The series keeps heavy importance for both the Rohit Sharma-led team as well as the new look Australian team under Pat Cummins. How Australia cricket would deal with the Indian situation, and what would be their strategy and game plan, this is all that Rohit Sharma and co. are thinking right now.

2004 triumph is the benchmark: Cummins

In Amazon Original's documentary 'The Test' season two, there's a lot of revelation about the Australian game plan ahead of the most-awaited series.

Captain Pat Cummins recalled Australia's 2004 triumph in Indian soil under Ricky Ponting saying that is the benchmark for his boys.

"They won in India, they won in England," Cummins says in 'The Test', also referring to Australia's five-Test Ashes tour of the UK, which follows the India assignment.

"That Test team (class of 2004), no matter where they (went) in the world, they could adapt. That's the gold standard. That's what you aspire to." The documentary, which premieres on Prime Video this week, charts the success and failure of Cummins' team from the time of his appointment as skipper to last summer's Ashes campaign, through to their subsequent tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Cummins highlights sub-continental conditions

Talking about strategies, Cummins focussed on the conditions in the sub-continent and talked about what needs to be done with the SG ball.

"In Australia, you keep the field in with the new ball, try and make the most of it," Cummins reveals.

"In the subcontinent, it's the opposite. The new ball does nothing, so you put the field out to stop the ball just pinging off the bat and then you hope it starts reversing.

"Then you sense an opportunity, and that's when you go 'voom'."

Talking about the World Test Championship table, if Australia take the series, then it would be Australia vs South Africa otherwise, India-Australia will meet up on the big stage in London.
