Team India has been gearing up for an action-packed home season commencing on September 19, as Rohit Sharma and his men will lock horns against Bangladesh for the first Test match at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. While the main focus is on the two Test match series against the Bangla Tigers and New Zealand at home, there is no denying that major headlines are already towards the much anticipated historic Border-Gavaskar showdown, which will kick off from November 22 in Perth, set to reignite one of cricket's fiercest rivalries. For Team India, the series is crucial not only in terms of WTC standings but also in scripting a new record Down Under, clinching a hat-trick of Test series wins.
