Australia will begin their bid to become the undisputed No. 1 Test Cricket team in the same city where they last clinched the Border-Gavaskar trophy in India.
Pat Cummins’ side will try to make history and end India’s 11-year unbeaten run in the Test Series on home soil.
Australia are already ranked No.1, but if they were to greet India for the first time since 2004, it would elevate the team’s status to greatness.
The first test begins Thursday at Nagpur’s VCA Stadium, about 25 minutes from the city’s old test ground where a team led by Adam Gilchrist won 19 years ago to conclude the series.

Australia dominated cricket from the mid-1990s until 2007, twice winning a record 16 Tests in a row and claiming three consecutive ODI World Cups.
The Test has already erupted in controversy after a journalist captured photos of ground crew in Nagpur apparently tampering with the field.
Photos show the team have been watering and rolling the center of the wicket and the area outside the right-handed stump, but leaving the other areas of the rink to bake in the sun.
Australia’s batting line-up is full of lefties with David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Travis Head, Alex Carey, Ashton Agar and Matt Renshaw all sure to be affected by the build-up to the pitch.

However, Indian cricket legend Ravi Shastri has criticized claims that the nation is “cheating” with the preparation of the Nagpur pitch.
‘That’s silly!’ he told SEN’s Sportsday.
‘It’s more hype than anything else around this first Test match.
“It always happens, you get 15mm grass, 18mm grass or 12mm grass in different places around the ground… by the end of this first test I’m sure there will be someone scoring a hundred.
