India have tasted immense success in recent times

In the recent history, India's tours to Australia have been remarkably successful, with India clinching series victories on their last two visits, specifically during the 2018-19 and 2020-21 seasons. The 2020 tour was particularly memorable for the dramatic turnaround by the Indian team following their collapse to 36 all out.
