With the Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 done and dusted, Indian cricket stars will be back on national duty as they’ll travel Australia for a full-fledged tour.  Fans must brace themselves for great action as the two cricketing powerhouses will lock horns in three T20Is, as many ODIs and four Test matches. Both sides have the different significance of the series, and they must leave no stones unturned to emerge victorious. This will be India’s first international assignment after the coronavirus-induced halt, and they’ll want to come back with the bang. On their other hand, the Aussies faced humiliation in their own backyard when Virat Kohli and Co came down under last time in 2018-19. Hence, they’ll like to redeem themselves. Download India Tour of Australia 2020-21 Tenatative Schedule For Free in PDF Format
