Former Indian cricketer Sandeep Patil has voiced his confidence in the Indian cricket team's ability to replicate their past success against Australia in the upcoming Test series. Reflecting on India's recent performances, Patil highlighted the importance of consistency and the lessons learned from the series against New Zealand. "India played really well in the last Test series, but the series between India and New Zealand was a wake-up call," Patil told ANI, emphasising the need for the team to remain vigilant and prepared.

Patil, who has played 29 Tests and 45 ODIs for India, scored 1,588 and 1,005 runs, respectively.

He acknowledged the challenges faced during the New Zealand series but remained optimistic about India's prospects.
