After a long home season that saw the Indian team rise to the No. 1 spot in Tests and ODIs, here comes the acid test.
Over the next year and a half, the team will be touring South Africa, England, Australia and New Zealand, culminating with the World Cup in England in 2019.
We will now know the true mettle of this team. Are they home tigers, or can they roar abroad too? This team has the mettle, skill and hunger to maintain its standings, and while in the last few years, they have come close, they have not been able to cross the line. I believe this team can do it.
There's only one weakness that we need to sort out - the form of Rahane. There are many that are knocking at the doors for that spot - Rohit Sharma, Manish Pandey, Priyank Panchal and Prithvi Shaw. If he doesn't find his mark, he will have to make way.
So let's see how this team goes about in defending their title.
