Across eras, India and Australia have gifted us with unforgettable memories, personal greatness, and spectacular battles across game formats. Ashes of the sub-continent witnessed its share of events ranging from a war for captaincy between Steve Smith and Virat Kohli. We have seen unforgettable performances in India National Cricket Team vs Australian Men’s Cricket Team Timeline.
The Indian team changed and reunited after the defeat of the 2003 ODI World Cup final match. The team transformed from then on; in some measure, India’s ascent to the top of Test cricket was founded on vital wins over Australia.
So the next generation just steps right up to follow suit and instead gives us a lifetime of incredible fights of these two titans.
