RCB captain Virat Kohli has changed his base as soon as his team Royal Challengers Bangalore got knocked out of IPL 2020 after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL Eliminator on Saturday. Right after the IPL, Indian cricket team has to tour Australia, where there will play three ODIs, three T20s and four Tests. This series will be played inside a Bio-secure bubble.

In view of this important tour, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has started its preparations. All the players who were not part of the Indian Premier League or their franchise have already been eliminated from the tournament are all practicing in this bio bubble to prepare themselves to beat the Kangaroos. If reports are to be believed, skipper Kohli will start preparations for the next mission after resting for one or two days.

Mayank Agarwal, who was an important part of Kings XI Punjab, Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara, Hanuma Vihari have started working hard. This time, India will also play a boxing day-test match against Australia and a day-night test match. Two days ago, Kohli had described staying in the bio bubble as a problem for mental health.

If Pakistan's great fast bowler and former captain Wasim Akram is to be believed, Australia would be the favourites in this much awaited Test series to be held in December-January, but it would be a close match between two teams of equal strength.

The Indian team won 2–1 in the Test series during the 2018 Australia tour, but Steve Smith and David Warner were not playing in that series. Both veterans were suspended for ball tampering.
