Background
Australia toured India to play 4 Tests and 3 ODIs. The Test series played by both teams is called the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. According to this, the first Test match between India and Australia will start at 9.30 am today in Nagpur.
India has won the last 3 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. This series will be a big challenge for Indian captain Rohit Sharma as Test captain.
Rohit Sharma has played only 2 Tests since taking over as captain in all formats in February 2022. So, Rohit Sharma is forced to prove himself in this series.
Similarly, Virat Kohli needs 64 runs to reach 25,000 international runs. Currently, Kohli is sixth in the world with 24,936 international runs. Kohli has played a total of 74 centuries and 129 fifties in 490 international matches for India. If Kohli scores the remaining 64 runs in this match, he will become the second Indian batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to cross 25,000 runs.
Also, Virat Kohli needs 107 runs to cross 2,000 runs against Australia. He will become the fourth Indian batsman to achieve the feat against Australia in Tests after Sachin Tendulkar (3630), VVS Laxman (2434) and Rahul Dravid (2143) in the list of highest Test runs against Australia.
R Ashwin needs just 1 more wicket to reach 450 Test wickets. If Ashwin achieves this feat, he will become the 9th bowler in the history of Test cricket to take 450 wickets.
Indian Team:
India is an unstoppable team at home. Asathi has won the last 15 Test series at home. The Indian team has not lost a series at home since 2012.
Australia, who will meet India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the 15th time, have not won the series since 2004.
Test Championship:
India will qualify for the World Test Championship final only if they win at least 3 Tests in this series. So Indian team will fight hard to win this series.
