There are still five months to go for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (India vs Australia Tests) to start, but the tickets for the 5-match series may have already been sold out. The Indian cricket team have beaten the Aussies the last two times they have gone down under and is looking to claim a hat-trick.
First, it was Virat Kohli who beat Tim Paine’s side in 2018-19, and then Ajinkya Rahane beat Pat Cummins’ side in 2020-2. Now, it’s Rohit Sharma’s team who’ll look to beat Cummins and co. once again.
