Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has picked India as the favourites for the coming Test series against Australia. “The last thing one would like to do is underestimate your opposition and Australia is a strong side. Yes, to play in Indian conditions it would be difficult and Australian players have also acknowledged that, which is a compliment to the Indian team to the way the Indian players are playing. But you cannot take things for granted,” Tendulkar said.
“I have no doubt that our team will prepare to their best of the ability and deliver when it matters. [The ] Australians are going to be tough to handle and that’s how it has always been.”
India will play a four-Test series against Steve Smith’s men, starting from February 23 in Pune.
