After losing a major Test series at home, the India National Cricket Team will be in action once again but this time it will be away from home. Gautam Gambhir and his team has travelled to Australia and are gearing up for a five-match Test series against the hosts. The conditions will be different for Indian players as the surfaces in Australia provide more bounce than usual and the role of fast bowlers will be very crucial for both sides. India will be slightly low on confidence as New Zealand National Cricket Team whitewashed them in a three-match Test series in India. ‘Virat Kohli Will Excel in Australia’: Irfan Pathan Gives His Take on Indian Batter’s Performance in IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 (See Post).

The Australia National Cricket Team were last spotted in action for Test cricket in March 2024 when they battled New Zealand away from home. Australia won the series 2-0 and stunned New Zealand at home. This will be a good chance for Australia to keep that top spot in the World Test Championship 2023-25 rankings with them. If India will be able to bag wins in four Test matches out of five, only then they will have a chance to make it to the WTC 2023-25 final. It is going to be a tough and challenging series for Gautam Gambhir and India.
