About the perception that the current Australian side is not as strong as the ones in the past, Rajput refused to buy the line of thought.

"No team when they come to India is weak. At that level, they are all very strong. It's more important to see how much effort they put in the practice games. If you look at their players, they have done very well at that level. It's crucial to see how quickly they can adjust to the Indian conditions. "Their pacers -� (Moises) Henriques and (James) Pattinson -� bowled well in the (first) practice game on the slow wicket. It all depends on how they can take it forward," he said. "In a Test match, it's a different ball game. It gets the best out of the players. So it's important if the players raise their game in the Test matches." Rajput said a couple of players were yet to join the squad. "Two players are still to arrive because they were playing a one-day game -� Ashok Menaria and Jalaj Saxena -� in Indore. There's no direct flight, so they will arrive now. Rohit is here, but he has an upset stomach but should be okay for the game."
