The Border-Gavaskar series was first organized in 1996 in the name of two legendary players from India and Australia. From then until now, the rivalry between the two countries has been fierce, with sometimes one team having the upper hand and sometimes the other. At the same time, something like this has never happened in 28 years, and today, November 22, it happened in Perth. Not only that, but this feat is the first time in the 72-year history of Australian cricket that you will be shocked to hear.
The eyes of the world are on India’s series against Australia.
The long-awaited start of the India vs Australia series, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This is the series that not only these two teams, but the whole world, has been waiting for. That’s why it’s seen as a matter of prestige. Whenever these two teams play each other, especially in Test matches, the world watches. When India captain Jasprit Bumrah won the coin toss, his decision to bat seemed wrong. This belief was further confirmed when India’s wickets kept falling, but the real game started when India started bowling.
India could score only 150 runs
India were all out after scoring 150 runs. After that, the Indian team seemed to be at a disadvantage, but the Indian team’s speed attack changed the entire situation. By the end of the day, Australia had also lost seven wickets and had not even reached 70 runs. After 1952, about 72 years later, a Test match was being played in Australia and 16 wickets fell on the first day. 72 years means that this is the first time this has happened in the Australian Border-Gavaskar Trophy as the trophy is only 28 years old.
Team India has a chance to take the lead in the series
The Indian team could only score 150 runs, but now Australia has lost 7 wickets for 67 runs in 27 overs, and the Indian team is in a strong position. India still leads by 83 points. This means that if the remaining three Australian batsmen are also dismissed cheaply, India will take the lead based on the first innings. This will prove to be very important in this game. The history of Perth is that no team has won by chasing points. This time Australia will have to bat and chase the ball in the fourth innings and it will be very difficult for them. The focus now will be on how quickly Australia’s remaining wickets fall and how well India bats in the second innings.
