India vs Australia Test Series: The Indian cricket team is currently on tour in Australia where five Test matches are being played. Three games have been played so far, with two remaining. Interestingly, even after three games, the series is still tied. India won one game while Australia fought back and won the other game. The third game could not be completed due to rain and ended in a draw. The India vs Australia series is also known as the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This is very important for both teams. Meanwhile, now India has a chance to retain the trophy once again.
The current series is very important for India and Australia
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is named after two legendary cricketers from India and Australia. While the most important Test series in Australia is the Ashes against England, the Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia cannot be underestimated. India has won the trophy for the past four times. Whether the series is played in Australia or outside Australia. Despite their hard work, the Australian team failed to win the trophy. A similar situation may happen this time.
The fourth game of the series will be played on December 26.
There are two games left in India’s series against Australia. The fourth game of the series will be played in Melbourne on December 26. This is also known as the Boxing Day Test. After this, the final game of the series, Game 5, will be held on January 3. If the Indian team can win even one of the remaining two matches, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be confirmed to remain in the hands of India. In fact, if India wins one game and Australia wins one, the series will end in a draw and the last championship team was India, so the trophy will also stay in India. However, Team India will try to win both games of the series.
India also has a chance to win the next two games.
Team India overcame a difficult phase in the Australia series. That said, the playing field that India has been playing on so far has not been great for India. The remaining matches will now be played in Melbourne and Sydney, places that are more familiar to the Indian team. Therefore, it will not be a surprise if India wins the remaining two matches. However, for this, India’s batsmen will have to perform better. The benefit of winning both matches is also that India will easily secure a spot in the World Test Championship final without having to rely on other teams. Now all eyes are on December 26, when India and Australia will face off again.
