India have a good chance to win in Australia: Mohammad Azharuddin

Kolkata: Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin on Friday said India have a good chance to win in Australia although they will have to push hard for every inch as it won't be easy Down Under.

"India have a good chance Down Under. They are a good side and I fancy them winning there. Of course, it won't be easy. It never is in Australia. But this team can do it," Azharuddin said on the sidelines of Jagmohan Dalmiya Annual Conclave at the Eden Gardens here.

Azharuddin's comments echoed Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh, who also said recently that this is India's best chance to win in Australia. The Australians will be without regular captain Steve Smith and experienced opener David Warner as the pair are serving a one-year ban due to their roles in the ball tampering scandal in March this year.
