India’s cricket team faces a challenging Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia, starting on Friday. Memories of their 2021 victory in Brisbane remain fresh, but both teams enter the series struggling for form.
India, still recovering from a disappointing home series loss to New Zealand, needs a strong showing. The team’s hopes for a third consecutive World Test Championship final appearance have dwindled after their recent defeat. A 4-0 series win is crucial to secure their place in the final.
Achieving a 4-0 victory in Australia is a daunting task. India’s recent form suggests they are capable of a comeback, especially when facing low expectations.
This series holds significant weight for key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin. Kohli’s dominance in Australia, including his memorable four centuries in 2014, is etched in the minds of fans and opponents alike. Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant’s past performances against the Australian bowlers add to the intrigue.
This series may hinge on the bowlers’ performances. India’s pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, carries the responsibility of setting the tone against an Australian batting lineup that has shown vulnerability even on home soil.
Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep are likely to join Bumrah in the pace attack. However, Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana are also vying for a spot with their impressive skills.
