Although depleted without the likes of Rohit Sharma and potentially Shubman Gill, who earlier sustained a thumb fracture, the India national cricket team cannot be taken lightly at all. Star batter Virat Kohli, who always loves to play in Australian conditions will be among the players to watch out for along with India's stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah.
The Australia national cricket team on the other hand will have the edge over India, given the fact that they are playing at home. Australia will look to dent India's confidence more after Rohit Sharma and co had suffered a shock whitewash at the hands of New Zealand not many days ago. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is also set to have massive implications on the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 final with Australia currently topping the standings with India in second place. IND vs AUS 2024-25 Schedule: Check List of Fixtures in India vs Australia Test Series With Venues and Match Timings in IST of Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
