Last time, the Border-Gavaskar trophy was held in India, where the host won the series by 2-1. However, Australia claimed the bragging right after defeating India at the World Test Championship final at The Oval. But when it comes to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India has held the coveted title since 2017 on the back of consecutive series triumphs away from home.

This time Australia will look to capitalize on their home advantage and will try to win the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Meanwhile, India will try to replicate their previous record of BGT in Australia. It is tough to say who will win the trophy this time, but one thing is for sure – this series is going to be an exciting one.
