What really stands out here is that all their wins have come on home soil and therefore, Tim Paine & Co. gain the upper hand heading into the Adelaide Test. 

Meanwhile, regular skipper Virat Kohli will be heading back to India after the conclusion of the first Test to be with his better half Anushka Sharma as the couple expects their first child in January. He has been granted paternity leave by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
