If India is to win in Australia, it will be a historic occasion. Never in the history of the game has India won a Test series in Australia. Since becoming a cricketing force, India has travelled to Australia 11 times for a test series but have never come back as victorious.

There have been three series that have finished in draws and a couple of close shouts but never an Indian victory. At home, Australia has always had the better of the Indians

Even in the recent past, India barely have anything significant to look back at. The men in blue did not win a single test in their last two visits to Australia. Since beating New Zealand in 2009, India has won a single Test series outside the subcontinent except for West Indies. Since 2011, they have only won three matches out of 30 in the "SENA" countries. This year India travelled to South Africa and England and lost both series.

If India wishes to win in Australia they will have to do something no Indian team has done before. More importantly, this group of players will have to produce the best performances of their careers so far.
