Now, let’s talk about the teams. India comes into this series as the defending champion, having won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy a remarkable three times in a row. Remember their historic back-to-back triumphs in Australia during the 2018-19 and 2020-21 tours? Those were incredible victories.

Australia, on the other hand, will be looking to reclaim the trophy on home soil. They have a World Champion team led by the ever-reliable Pat Cummins, so expect a fierce fight.

The schedule itself is exciting. The series starts in Perth, then moves to Adelaide for a day-night Test with the pink ball. This will be India’s 5th day-night Test, and it promises to be a dramatic battle under lights. Next up is the Gabba in Brisbane, a stadium known for its lively pitch that can favor fast bowlers. The iconic Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground follows, a true highlight of the Australian cricket calendar. Finally, the series concludes in Sydney in January 2025.
