India has won its previous two Test tours of Australia by identical 2-1 margins, but heads into the upcoming marquee series on the back of a 3-0 home series defeat at the hands of New Zealand earlier this month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOne thing you never do is write off champions, and that\u2019s in every sport, because they are a champion for a reason. In India, there are one and a half billion cricket-loving people, and then count all the rest around the world, they expect nothing but excellence, and the team will be under intense pressure, so how they fight back will be important.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAnd they\u2019ll be getting written off for being too old, but people say that all the time, and I just can\u2019t wait to see them play. I just hope, if this is the last time (Kohli) is out here, people enjoy it because he is a superstar, so is Rohit Sharma, so is (Ravi) Ashwin, so is (Ravi) Jadeja, so is (Jasprit) Bumrah.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the same with the Australians; the bowling attack is a very senior attack now... so really enjoy it while you can; they are not going to be around forever,\u201d said Langer to The West Australian on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India has to win at least four games on their Test tour of Australia if they are to enter next year\u2019s World Test Championship final at Lord\u2019s. Langer thinks that India, in their bid to recover from their defeat to New Zealand, could well turn out to be a dangerous opponent for Australia, who have landed in Perth on Sunday to prepare for the first Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIndia losing to New Zealand is a bit like North Melbourne beating Brisbane in the grand final at the moment. And not for one millisecond is that disrespect for New Zealand, because they are the great overachievers; they are brilliant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
