Sports Desk. The much-awaited Australia vs India 5-match Test series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will begin on Friday, November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the absence of captain Rohit Sharma, the Indian team would like to make a great start to the Test series while the Australian team will try to avenge their previous back-to-back series defeats in BGT.
Indian cricket team’s previous win over Australia at their home ground has raised expectations for the upcoming Test series. For Team India, the IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Test series is extremely important as they will have to defeat Australia 4-0 to secure a place in the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC), which will be held in June next year. Will be played at Lord’s.
Fans of both the teams wait for this much-awaited Test series between India and Australia. Before 2018, India had never won a Test series in Australia, but it has dominated the Kangaroo team on the last two tours. Regular Indian captain Rohit Sharma may not be available for the opening match, but he will lead the team in the remaining four matches of the series.
After the crushing defeat against New Zealand at home, head coach Gautam Gambhir came under the maximum target and the Test series against Australia is very important for him. This series is very important for Virat Kohli and Rohit as well as Gambhir because another defeat can make the journey ahead very difficult for them.
