While the Aussies are winless in their last four Test series against India, the visitors stand a chance to complete a hat-trick of Test series win on the Australian soil and a win could also serve as their fifth straight Test series victory against the reigning WTC champions.

"Fittingly, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been put on the same footing as the (men's) Ashes with a five-Test Series for the first time since 1991-92 and we're confident the schedule will maximise viewership and attendances and there will be a tremendous atmosphere in stadiums across the country."
