However, Gilchrist, who led the side in the absence of Ricky Ponting in that series, sees a good chance in this series. His predecessor and legendary wicketkeeper Ian Healy also sees a good opportunity for Australia. However, it will depend on the kind of wickets India is making.

Usually, by making turning wickets, India defeats the teams of the sub-continent. Healy has no doubt that a turning wicket will be made in that series this time too. However, if the wicket is not ‘unfit’ to play this time, then Australia will win the series. And Gilchrist believes that if Cummins’ team can play with the mentality of the 2004 team, then it will do something good.

“They (India) have got a good team,” Healy, who has played 119 Tests for Australia, told the media. But I am not afraid of their spinners. Unless they make a bizarre kind of wicket. ‘

Healy believes that the fight in this series will not be one-sided. Mitchell Starc’s injury can also be a big factor. In that case, if Starc does not play in the first Test, India will win the series 2-1.

“Last time they made a wicket. The two wickets were terrible. I remember the spinners were watching the batters from day one. If they make wickets like this, they will do better than us. My prediction is that if Starc doesn’t play the first Test, India will win the series 2-1. But if we make a flat wicket, we have a chance. ‘
