Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25: The Indian cricket team is all set to begin one of their most challenging tours in recent times, facing Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The much-awaited series kicks off in Perth on November 22.
India, under heavy pressure, will enter the match after a crushing 0-3 loss to New Zealand at home, their worst defeat in years. With the World Test Championship final at stake, India must not only beat Australia convincingly in the 5 Tests but also keep an eye on other teams’ results.
The visitors will face a tough start in the 1st Test as skipper Rohit Sharma will miss the Perth match due to the birth of his second child, and Shubman Gill is out with a thumb injury. With several players touring Australia for the first time, the team will rely heavily on experienced players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and KL Rahul to step up.
