India's head coach Shastri says Aussies cannot be taken for granted despite the absence of Smith and Warner

Despite the ball tampering saga, a wretched recent record along with the absence of key players in David Warner and Steven Smith, India's head coach Ravi Shastri believes Australian cricket has not lost its aura and the team will still present a tough challenge for the visitors.
"I don't think so... once you have that sporting culture, you will always have that and I always believe that no team is weak at home. We might have three or four players not playing when a team comes to India but God forbid anyone who says it's a weak Indian team. So similarly, we are taking no prisoners, we want to put our best foot forward and focus on our game rather than theirs," Shastri said here yesterday.
