It is now one of the greatest rivalries in Test cricket and this summer’s series between Australia and India is promising to take the contest to unprecedented levels.
To celebrate the five-Test series that starts in Perth on Friday, November 22, News Corp Australia is publishing a special eight-page print and digital wrap in three languages – English, Hindi and Punjabi.
The special edition, which will be on sale on Tuesday, November 12, will showcase some of the biggest names in cricket and introduce the next generation of stars to audiences across Australia.
It will feature in the The Daily Telegraph in Sydney, the Herald Sun in Melbourne, The Courier-Mail in Brisbane and The Advertiser in Adelaide.
This will be followed by a 16-page ultimate launch guide on November 17, also containing content in Hindi and Punjabi, and even more compelling stories about the summer of intrigue that awaits.
If you’re lucky you will be hearing all three languages at grounds this summer, with 200,000 Australians speaking Hindi, and Punjabi now our fastest-growing language with more than 230,000 speakers, up 80 per cent in the last decade
Included in Tuesday’s wrap will be a pull-out poster of Indian superstar Virat Kohli, as well as features on rising batting genius Yashasvi Jaiswal, the rivalries to keep an eye on this summer and why this series now competes with The Ashes for popularity.
Pat Cummins’ Australian team has it all ahead of them. After losing the last two series at home, Australia will be looking to regain the Border-Gavaskar trophy for the first time since 2015.
Will Kohli find the form for one last great tour? Will Cummins get the better of Indian quick Jasprit Bumrah? Who will win the spin battle between Nathan Lyon and Ravi Ashwin?
Sunday’s launch guide will also feature exclusive columns from Indian legend Ravi Shastri and the recently retired David Warner. Former Australian skipper Tim Paine will be joining the team, featuring Robert “Crash” Craddock, Ben Horne and Dan Cherny, throughout the series.
We will be your home of non-stop action across all of our platforms, including digital, print, video, social and audio.
