India, having secured back-to-back series wins in Australia, first under Virat Kohli’s leadership in 2018-19 and then under Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy in 2020-21, are now eyeing third consecutive win
Preview
In this prediction, we will analyze AUS vs IND Fantasy 11 Prediction, Cricket Tips, Predicted Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For 1st Test. Team India and Australia are all set to cross swords in the historic Border Gavaskar Trophy Showdown, with the series opener kick-offs from November 22 at Optus Stadium in Perth. The tourists eye their third consecutive Test series win on the trot on the Australian turf, and the strong hosts aim to go all guns blazing to stop the visitors in their bid to reclaim the showpiece event.
Coming to the team dynamics, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma will not be available for the opening Test match due to the birth of his second child. At the same time, number three batter Shubman Gill has been ruled out due to injuries. With the spot in the 2025 WTC Final at stake, the tourists need to win at least four of the five matches. However, this seems to be a challenging one this time due to the struggling Indian batting lineup.
On the flip side, Australia’s top order seems inexperienced, and their hopes of avoiding another shambolic defeat rest on Smith, Head, and Labuschagne. However, the pace trio of Cummins, Starc, and Hazlewood will aim to crush India’s low confidence and dominate the series-opening Test match.
Meanwhile, India vs Australia rivalry seems to be one of the memorable contests across all the formats, and this November marked the first anniversary of Pat Cummins and his men’s win during the final showdown of the 2023 ODI World Cup against Team India. For Team India, this upcoming tour would provide another chance to avenge the heartbreak while the 2023 WTC Final champions aim to reverse the losing trend against the Men in Blue in the red-ball game. The Indian Cricket team is the current holder of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, in honor of two batting legends, Allan Border of Australia and India’s Sunil Gavaskar.
