Former India opener Gautam Gambhir accepts that the Virat Kohli-drove side has the bowling assault to shake the Australian batting line up including Steve Smith and David Warner, who were serving ball-tampering bans in the last series against India.
India is scheduled to tour Australia in November for an overwhelming four-Test series.
“Because India has got the bowling attack to rattle the Australian batting line-up even with David Warner and Steve Smith, but yeah, it’s going to be a different challenge than what it was last time around,” Gambhir said on Star Sports show ‘Cricket Connected’.
“So, you would want Virat Kohli to fire plus the bowlers as well because it’s the bowlers that will win you the Test matches,” added the southpaw.

India’s Win over Aussies in the Last Tour:
Last time in 2018-19, India enlisted their first win over Australia in the Test series where Australia missed the game changers, Smith and Warner, in their squad who missed the tournament as they were in a ball-tampering ban.
Gambhir, who was part of the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup-winning teams, said this time it will be a different challenge for the visitors.
“Whether it was his (Kohli’s) first tour, whether it was the second tour, this time around, obviously, he (Kohli) would be gearing up for it because it’s going to be a different challenge with David Warner and Steve Smith coming back into the Australian Test line-up,” he said.
