Ravi Shastri Predicts Exciting India vs Australia Test Series for Border-Gavaskar Trophy
New Delhi [India], August 14: Ravi Shastri, the former coach of the Indian cricket team, is confident that India will continue their recent dominance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and defeat Australia in the upcoming series. India has won the last two Test series in Australia and has held onto the Border-Gavaskar Trophy since 2015.
While Australia defeated India in the ICC World Test Championship final last year, Shastri knows that Pat Cummins’ team will be eager to reclaim the trophy in the five-match series starting in November. Australian legend Ricky Ponting predicted a 3-1 series win for Australia, but Shastri believes India has a strong chance of making it a hat-trick of wins.
Shastri emphasized the importance of India’s experienced top-order, including skipper Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli, in retaining the trophy. He stated, “The Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia over five Test matches is going to be a humdinger. India has beaten Australia twice on the last two tours, and Australia has not got a hand on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in almost a decade.”
Shastri added, “It is going to be one heck of a series, and India has every chance of making it a hat-trick because they’ve got their bowlers fit, and if they can bat well, they can beat Australia once again.”
