The players like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman,& senior mates to make a final push to glory.

"Most of the senior cricketers are here on their last tour of Australia, so it's very important we go back victorious," Kumble said after arriving here with the Indian squad to play a four-Test series, beginning at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on December 26.

Kumble said beating Australia in their den is a major incentive for his team.

"It means a lot to all of us in the team and also it means a lot to Indian cricket. We came pretty close to doing that the last time we came here (in 2003-04).

"Leading up to the (final) Sydney Test match it was 1-1 and we did extremely well in the last Test series (to draw), so it's going to be very crucial for all of us," he said.

"Not many teams have come here and gone home victorious, so it's a great opportunity for all of us."
