IND VS AUS Test Series: The much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) is set to kick off on November 22, 2024, as India and Australia renew their fierce rivalry in one of world cricket’s most exciting contests. The series promises to be a high-stakes affair, with Australia needing to win at least four out of the five matches to secure a spot in the World Test Championship final.

India’s recent triumphs in Australia, having won two consecutive series on the Kangaroos’ home turf, have only added fuel to the fire of this intense rivalry. However, the stakes are higher than ever. Reports suggest that a lackluster performance from India’s senior players could spell the end of Test careers for the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin. Even head coach Gautam Gambhir’s position could come under scrutiny if India fails to live up to expectations.
Australia, on the other hand, is eager for revenge after their 2022 series loss. With Pat Cummins leading the charge, the visitors are unlikely to underestimate an Indian side that has shown time and again they perform best when faced with adversity.
The five-match series will feature some of the world’s best cricketers, as both teams aim to assert their dominance in the longest format of the game.
