IND vs AUS 3rd Test preview: Will KL Rahul be dropped? Rohit Sharma makes a bold statement

After 2 crushing defeats, Australia would be eager to bounce back in the 3rd Test in Indore, but it's easier said than done against an Indian side that is a force to reckon with at home.

Team India has never lost a Test at the Holkar Cricket Stadium and have lost just 1 of their last 17 Tests vs Australia in their own backyard.

Ashwin and Jadeja have given nightmares to the visitors on these turning tracks, and the pitch in Indore would be no different.

However, Team India need to work a little on the batting front.

KL Rahul has been going through a rough patch and was recently stripped as the vice-captain. Though Shubman Gill is eagerly waiting in the wings, skipper Rohit Sharma stated that it doesn't mean anything big.

As for the Aussies, Steve Smith returns as the skipper in the absence of Pat Cummins and pacer Mitchell Starc is also expected to return.

No matter what, India has already retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and Australia will have to do a lot more than just play good cricket, in order to draw the 4-match series at best.
