India achieved historic series wins during their 2018-19 and 2020-21 tours of Australia, and now they will look to secure a third straight Test series win on Australian soil. The inaugural Border-Gavaskar Trophy series was held in 1996-97.
The upcoming IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy series could mark the final appearance of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja in the contest. With India's next tour to Australia scheduled for 2027, it is expected that these cricketing legends will have retired from international cricket by then. India will be under immense pressure as they aim to bounce back from recent 0-2 test series loss on home soil.
