Australian captain Pat Cummins outlines his team's readiness for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener against India, highlighting all-rounder Mitchell Marsh's bowling form. Cummins aims to end a decade of series droughts against India, while India's recent home defeat to New Zealand adds pressure on their performance.

As the Australian cricket team gears up for their first Test against India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Captain Pat Cummins is confident in his team's preparations. Cummins emphasizes the role of Mitchell Marsh, who is expected to contribute with both bat and ball, easing the workload on frontline bowlers.

Reflecting on the upcoming matches, Cummins, who recently led Australia to victories in the ICC World Test Championship and the ICC Cricket World Cup in India, faces the daunting task of breaking a 10-year series drought against India. He also aims to prevent a third consecutive series loss to the visitors at home.
