This year in the T20 World Cup, India got a sweet revenge over Australia by knocking them out in the super 8 stage but the WTC final and ODI World Cup final loss will pinch the Indian cricket fans.

"It's going to be important for all of us," Labuschagne told to Espncricinfo ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

"I think the way we play, we're at our best when we're playing the long game. We understand that getting them back for their second and third spells, putting them under pressure and letting them come to us and us putting pressure back on them through overs in the field and time in the game, especially over a five-Test series, that's really important. Because as you get into the third, fourth, fifth Test, if they're trying to play the same team, and those bowlers are rolling into 100, 150, 200 overs by the third Test, it's going to make a big difference in the series," he added.
