The Ultimate Test Series: Team India is on the brink of securing the ICC World Test Championship crown and Australia stands as the final obstacle in their way. The Australians are set to travel to India for a preview of the World Test Championship finale, but a tough test awaits them as they aim to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). India, on the other hand, will be looking to win the BGT for an unprecedented fourth consecutive time.
India Dominates in Previous BGT Clashes
In the past three BGT clashes, India has won two of the three series, first at home in 2016/17 and then in Australia in 2018/19 and 2020/21, all with a 2-1 margin in four-match series.
Australia’s Star-Studded Squad
Australia has a star-studded squad including big hitters like Steve Smith, David Warner, and Marnus Labuschagne, among others. The squad also includes the pace of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc and the cunning of Nathan Lyon. The rest of the talented squad will also look to make a name for themselves on the tour.
India’s Strong Lineup
India, currently ranked second in the world, will be eager to secure their place in the World Test Championship finale. Rohit Sharma and the rest of the “Men in Blue” will have the opportunity to cement their place in cricketing history with Test venues in Nagpur, Dharamshala, Delhi, and Ahmedabad.
