Australia has arrived in India for the Border-Gavaskar Series, one of the most anticipated Test tournaments of the year.
Following back-to-back Test series in their own home, Australia has traveled to India for a test series. Surprisingly, India won both times, first in 2018/19 and then again in 2021. For three consecutive editions, India has been on the cusp of winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
While the Kangaroos are enraged and determined to repay the favor by defeating India in India, the visitors face a difficult assignment because India has not lost a Test series at home since losing to England in 2012.
India will next play four Tests and three One-Day Internationals against Australia over the next one and a half months.
