As cricket pundits continue to discuss whether India can beat Australia in the longest format in Kohli’s absence, many believe it will certainly be a hard challenge for INDIA.

Even before India travelled to Australia for the ongoing series, a major news came from the Indian camp. After the PINK BALL TEST Skipper KING Virat Kohli was granted paternity leave and will be returning home after the first Test [day and night] .which is scheduled to begin from December 17th in Adelaide .

AUSTRALIA IS FAVOURITE 

While former Australia captain Michael Clarke believes that no one can fill Kohli’s boots, he also said that in case India manage to beat the Aussies in their own backyard in Kohli’s absence, it would be a reason to celebrate till 5 years.

He can do it,” Clarke said on the latest episode of Inspiration on India Today TV.

“There are probably two sides to Virat, one is the captaincy part and the other is the batting part. Who is going to bat in place of Virat. KL Rahul is very talented, there is no doubt about it. I think he is experienced, playing in these conditions before. 

“But Virat Kohli’s boots can never be filled by anybody. I love Jinx (Rahane). He is a great player. His captaincy is pretty good. “Tactically, he is a very good captain and it’s going to be good for India. You have got to see it as an opportunity. You have got to try and create history,” and for making history you've to give your 100% in agame till 5 days in a test match ...

“I think that’s the way Indian players have to look at it. They have to believe they are good enough to take on and beat this Australian team,”probably its a tuff seires for both sides but still AUSTRALIA is favourite in this series 

INDIA lost the odi series by 1-2 but there is t20 series is going on and win their first t20 very comfortably ... but all the CRICKET PANDITS focussing on THE TEST SERIES can india win again in absence of KING KOHLI.
