Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25: There is less than 10 days left for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 to begin. The first Test match is to be played between India and Australia in Perth from November 22. This five-match Test series is very important for both the countries. Team India has won the last two series in Australia. But Team India's recent performance in Tests has not been that good, so there will be pressure on the host team to win the series.
This series is very important for Team India in view of the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) because if India has to reach the final, then they have to win this series 4-0 at any cost. Before this series, you should know what has been the record of two great players of India, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the history of this series.
