NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Locking horns with a reinforced Australia will be a "different ball game" if India get a chance to contest the series Down Under later this year, opener Rohit Sharma said on Wednesday.

Exactly when the tour will go ahead is still up in the air as the coronavirus pandemic has brought professional cricket to a halt globally, but that uncertainty has not stopped Rohit from looking forward to what he expects to be a close contest.
