India in Australia: Specials

A second whitewash abroad is loud enough indication that it's time for changes in India's setup. Not all of it should change though, writes Saurabh Somani.

Virat Kohli stood tall amidst Indian batting ruins to serve notice that he may be the leader of India's next batting generation.

Ricky Ponting has proved a golden rule true: Never write off champions. His resurgence should not have come as a surprise, says Saurabh Somani.

The ride to Number One in Test cricket was a long and heady one for Team India, but it is now well and truly over, with an arduous road ahead back to the top, writes Saurabh Somani.

Michael Clarke's career has always been about regaining the highs from lows, says Saurabh Somani. And he's settled any lingering questions on whether he should be the Australian captain or not.

Michael Clarke could not have asked a better start to the year as he became the 21st player to register 300 or more in Test cricket.

If India are to be successful in Australia, it will eventually come down to four men to see them through. Saurabh Somani explores the world of the Fighter, the Foreman, the Priest and the Painter.

A year ago, India had survived South Africa in South Africa. After the humiliation in England though, they need to win in Australia to ensure a regression to the 1990s doesn't happen, writes Karthik Lakshmanan.

Michael Clarke was handed the Australian captaincy in less-than-ideal circumstances. However, he's done a lot more good than bad so far according to Ganesh Chandrasekaran.

It's been a career that has scaled heights no one has, but for a while now, it's been clear that Ricky Ponting is on his last legs. Srivathsa has his say on whether those last legs have also run-out of steam.
