India vs Australia, Border-Gavaskar Trophy: From full schedule to streaming details - All you need to know
India vs Australia, Border-Gavaskar Trophy - All you need to know
After beating Sri Lanka and New Zealand in the white-ball home series, India will now square off with Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the last edition comprising four Tests. The four Tests between heavyweights India and Australia is keenly awaited by the ardent cricket fans as the three few series have lived up to expectations, if not exceeded them. India have won the last three editions but will have a big task to beat Pat Cummins & Co. and assure themselves a place in the ICC World Test Championship final, to be held in early June.
For India, Rohit Sharma & Co. will be without the services of Jasprit Bumrah -- who might join the team for the last two Tests subject to fitness -- whereas Shreyas Iyer is doubtful for the series opener, on January 09. Australia, on the other hand, have a real chance to win their first red-ball series on Indian soil after 19 years following their dominance at home, versus West Indies and South Africa. Overall, it promises to be a humdinger of a series with plenty of sledging, intense drama and action.
