PERTH, Australia, Nov 20, 2024 (AFP) - India head into a hotly anticipated five-Test showdown against Australia starting in Perth on Friday wounded by their first home series loss in 12 years and with a point to prove. India must win the series at least 4-0. - 'A big one' -While India are under the gun they have a proud record in Australia, winning the last two Test series to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. "We've lost the (last) two series against them (in Australia), so this is a big one," Australia skipper Cummins said. Australia, who have not played a Test since their 2-0 series win in New Zealand in February, have their own issues with star all-rounder Cameron Green out for the series after undergoing back surgery.
