India, the World's No 1 Test side, will look to justify their billing when they take on Australia in a four Test series, which begins in Adelaide, on December 6.
For Virat Kohli's side, the series is a golden opportunity to erase their poor performance overseas, having lost 1-2 to South Africa and 1-4 to England this year.
All eyes will no doubt be on run machine Kohli, but it is time the other Indian batsmen put their hands up and deliver.
In a rarity for an Indian team, the current team's bowling attack has attracted more attention than the batting.
India's pace attack -- Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav -- is deemed as good or even better than Australia's fast bowlers.
India's spinners are always seen as reliable what with the likes of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja and mystery spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
Ahead of the series opener at the Adelaide Oval, many Indian cricketers posed for Ryan Pierse/Getty Images on Monday, December 3.
