Beating India ‘one big thing’ Cummins wants to ‘tick off’

Pat Cummins, captain of the Australian cricket team, is determined to lead his team to a Test series win over India this summer.

### Cummins on his team's performance against India
As the Australian captain, Cummins has yet to experience a Test series win over India, a streak he wants to break this summer on home soil.

### Expectations on home soil
"It's kind of the one big thing that I want to tick off," Cummins said. "Particularly winning at home. Most Australians, me included, expect us to do well whenever we play at home."

### Past performances
The last time Australia held the Border-Gavaskar Trophy was in 2014, when they beat India 2-0 in a four-match series. Since then, India has won all four rubbers, including two at home.

### India's current mindset
Australian captain Cummins 'hopes' that India's recent home series defeat will impact their performance in Australia, which could give the hosts an advantage.

### Upcoming series
The Australian cricket team will face India in a Test series, starting from November 22 in Perth. "I think any time a team's under pressure, it's not a bad thing if you're playing against them," Cummins said. "But they've been out here before and performed well. Our job is to try and keep them quiet, see how we go."
