He also expressed concern over Dhoni’s 'circumspect' batting as Dhoni is at his best when he is whacking the bowlers all over the park.

Aussies are high on confidence after clinching their second successive Champions Trophy, while Indians were knocked out in the first stage itself.

The seven match series start from October 25.
