Ind vs Aus has always been a must-watch game of cricket. One of the key factors that make the rivalry between India vs Australia so compelling is the contrast in playing styles between the two teams. India has always relied on its strong batting lineup whereas Australia relied on its strong pace attack. This makes the game between the two teams even more interesting and challenging.
Ind vs Aus rivalry dates back to 1947 when the two nations played a test match again for the first time. Australia won that match held in Brisbane comfortably by an inning and 226 runs. India was touring Australia for the first time ever. Sir Donald Bradman was captaining the Australian side and Lala Amarnath was captaining the Indian squad.
The Australian team will be visiting India this February for a 4-match Test and a 3-match ODI Series. Let’s take a look at the schedule:

I have been a fan of Cricket ever since I watched the 2002 NatWest Series Final on television. The memories of Dada's celebration, Zaheer's winning run, and Kaif's extraordinary inning are still vivid.
I played the sport growing up, and I still do occasionally. I also enjoy it on the web or television. My passion for the game inspired me to start writing about it and I have been doing it since 2019. I hope readers will use my articles as a platform to discuss this beautiful sport we call "Cricket".
