Aakash Chopra will be writing four blogs during the India v Australia Test series and two during the India v England series which follows.
The 31-year-old is a prolific opening batsman, who made his first-class debut during the 1997-98 Indian season.
With India struggling to find a consistent top order pair, he was given his first Test cap against New Zealand at Ahmedabad in 2003 and followed that with two half centuries in the following game at Mohali.
Chopra went on to make 10 appearances before losing his place during the home series against Australia 12 months later, but has remained a heavy scorer at domestic level.
During the 2007-08 season he scored almost 800 runs to help Delhi win the Ranji Trophy and again put himself in the farme for a Test recall.
He also plays for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Twenty20 Indian Premier League.
