The highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 is set to kick off on November 22, featuring India and Australia in a high-stakes five-match Test series. Australia faces the uphill task of winning four out of the five matches to secure a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final. For India, the series could prove pivotal for the careers of some senior players.

Stakes Higher Than Ever

India has dominated the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in recent years, defeating Australia on their home turf in the last two tours. However, the visitors, led by Pat Cummins, are determined to reclaim their pride. Cummins has acknowledged the challenge posed by the experienced Indian team, which thrives under pressure.

For India, the series may mark a turning point for senior players such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin, as their Test careers hang in the balance. Even head coach Gautam Gambhir might face changes if the team falls short of expectations.
