Aus will be a different ball game: Sharma
Batsman Rohit Sharma said India were brimming with confidence after their crushing home victories over the West Indies -- but warned that winning their first Test series in Australia was a challenge of a different order.
India completed a 3-0 Twenty20 series sweep over the West Indies on Sunday, to add to their 2-0 Test whitewash and 3-1 victory in the ODIs, extending their dominating home form.
But Sharma said an away series against old rivals Australia, even without their batsmen Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, who are banned for ball-tampering, would be a much sterner test.
India barely have time to catch their breath before heading on Friday to Australia.
"Australia will be a different ball game I completely understand. But I think the things that we have been doing as a team and as a player, we keep repeating it," Sharma said.
