Will Indian Team Fight Back Against Australia After Clashing

It is big question arising that will Indian Team will fight back against Australian after losing 4-0 Test Series.
Senior players didn't do in the test. Now MS-Dhoni (Captain) hoping to do best in two T20 and ODI series.
First T20 will start on 1 Feb 2012.
Last time India were in Australia, it was a firework of a series with some controversies and plenty of high quality cricket. Aussies retained the Border-Gavaskar tests trophy but India went on to win the Commonwealth Bank tri-series. Cricket Australia scrapped 14 year long tradition of annual CB tri-series since then but now, with India returning, tri-series returns too, with Sri Lanka as the third team..
