On Mitchell Starc Dismissing India Veteran, Australia Great's "Ball Of The Century" Verdict

As Team India Scripted Sensational Turnaround, Sourav Ganguly Wasted No Time To Do This

India's stunning victory over Australia upset the predictions of quite a few cricket experts and former cricketers, who had given Australia the edge looking at India's form in the home series against New Zealand. One of them, former England cricketer Michael Vaughan, had predicted that Australia would win the five-match Test series 3-1.

"Rohit Sharma Laid-Back, Jasprit Bumrah Smiley Bloke": England Great's 'Aggression' Bombshell

There has been a lot of chatter around the series with the first match starting in Perth on Friday. In his column for The Telegraph, Vaughan wrote that in the previous two occasions when India won a series in Australia, they had Virat Kohli as captain and Ravi Shastri as coach - two figures well known for their positive brand of cricket. However, he called skipper Rohit Sharma as "laid-back" and stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah a 'lovely, smiley bloke'.

Team India might be coming into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the back of its worst-ever defeat in a home Test series but former cricketer Wasim Jaffer feels it's the Australian team that will be under more pressure.
