Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia, the visitors have already started the mind-games. A lot of former cricketers reckon that Australia have a great chance to win the Test series in India.

The latest inductee to comment on the upcoming Test series is Ryan Harris. Harris firmly believes that Australia have all the bases covered and have a great chance to win the Test series in India after 19 years. He stated that the squad is well balanced and Pat Cummins should be optimistic about the upcoming challenge.

"Much of the squad were over there last time so I think that will be a big plus in terms of experience," Harris said to Reuters.

"I think the squad has good experience, and should be in a good position if they go in with the same squad."

Harris also reckons that the positive enviornment that Pat Cummins has created will benefit the Australians in this series.

"Cummins a pretty positive sort of person. That's really rubbed off since he's taken over," Harris added.

He further added that Jasprit Bumrah's absence will hamper India's chances in the series.

"With his reverse swing and bowling fast, there's no doubt Bumrah will be missed. It would be like us not having Pat Cummins."

The first Test of the four-match series begins from February 9 in Nagpur. With a dry pitch on the cards, expect both India and Australia to go in with three genuine spinners.
