The highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy returns, with the first Test between Australia and India kicking off tomorrow in Perth. Fans are gearing up for an electrifying clash that holds significant weight in the World Test Championship standings.
Border-Gavaskar Trophy: A Rivalry Like No Other
India and Australia have a storied rivalry, with their last encounter in the 2023 World Test Championship Final seeing Australia claim victory. However, India recently retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a hard-fought 2-1 win at home.
India boasts an impressive record in recent Test series against Australia, having won their last two away series in 2020-21 and 2018-19. Australia, meanwhile, has not beaten India in a Test series since the 2014-15 home campaign, making this series even more exciting.
Current Form: Contrasting Journeys
Australia enters the series after a 10-month break from Test cricket, last playing a 2-0 series win against New Zealand in March 2024. India, however, will be looking to bounce back after a shocking home whitewash by New Zealand, their first in 12 years.
The first Test in Perth will also mark India’s return to away Tests after a year-long gap, with their last overseas match being against South Africa in January 2024.
