The Aussies have quashed all the pre-tournament predictions and crushed India in the first of the four Test matches in Pune. Can Steve Smith now conquer what his Steve Waugh termed as the “final frontier”? It remains highly unlikely.

Australia are a strong team astrologically. One can expect some more batsmen and pacer Jackson Bird, besides spinners Nathan Lyon and Steve O’Keefe, to excel in the three Tests ahead.

But despite all the heroics, Australia cannot win this Test series in India. Astrologically, Smith is never going to be a great captain, and he definitely cannot do what even Waugh couldn’t. It would probably have been a different equation if David Warner was leading this side.

Interestingly, India head coach Anil Kumble and his Australian counterpart Darren Lehmann were born in the same year and share similar planetary positions. While Lehmann has achieved all that he was destined as coach, Kumble still has more to come, which only adds to India’s chances of winning the series.

Virat Kohli’s horoscope is better than Smith’s and will come up the final winner.

Expect a re-jigged Indian batting line-up to fire on all cylinders and the bowling unit to rediscover its mojo from the second Test. India will bounce back dramatically and win the series.
