India will be touring Australia for the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy in November which features five Test matches.

The Rohit Sharma-led side will aim to make it a hat-trick of Test series wins on Australian soil, having bagged the last two series.

Having won their maiden Test series in Australia in 2018-19, India's most recent Test outing there in 2020-21 was nothing short of a movie plot.

India were bundled out for an embarrassing 36 in the second innings of the first Test which they eventually lost.

Despite dealing with injuries to multiple senior players, India made a memorable comeback and registered a 2-1 series victory.

When asked about his prediction regarding India's upcoming five-match Test series vs Australia, former cricketer Yuvraj Singh predicted the series to go 3-2 in favour of India.

However, former England captain Michael Vaughan and Australian legend Adam Gilchrist predicted Australia to win the series.

"I think it is the best series that world cricket can see at this minute. Two best teams. I think it's going to be 3-1 for Australia," said ex-England captain Vaughan on the Club Prairie Fire podcast before Gilchrist predicted a 3-2 win for Australia.

"Two guys have gone for Australia, so I should add India here. I would say 3-2 to India," said Yuvraj.

A funny exchange took place between Vaughan and Yuvraj after this.

"You can always claim a moral victory as well if it doesn't go your way," said Vaughan.

"We will take it," replied Yuvraj.

Yuvraj went on to mention how India scripted a superb comeback story during their last Test tour to Australia.

"When India was 30 (36) all out in the previous tour and they won the series 2-1 from there. I would have never thought that India could win 2-1 in Australia after losing like that. We came pretty close but obviously, this generation of players were... they had 11 match winners. It is hard to beat them. But then I just think that the current generation played cricket without thinking much about the opposition," said Yuvraj during an interaction on the Club Prairie Fire podcast.

"I think India's preparation was really well in the last two tours. Beating Australia twice in Australia is quite big. I think the (Indian) team definitely will be prepared. As long as they are prepared, I am sure they will do well. But I am sure it's not going to be easy. Beating Australia in Australia is like winning a World Cup. It's not impossible but if they prepare well and stick together as a group... They can win," he added.
