Ravi Shastri makes bold prediction on India vs Australia Border Gavaskar Trophy

Every India vs Australia match is nail-biting and sure to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. It’s not only about the magnitude of the game, but the fiery aggression and efforts both teams put in to win the match. India has the better of Australia in the last 2 Test Series played in Australia in 2018-19 and 2020-21.

As the Men in Blue are all set to take on the Aussies in the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy, there is a lot of comprehension about who will become the winner. Meanwhile, former India coach Ravi Shastri has tipped his hat to India to continue their dominance. Shastri is confident that the Rohit Sharma Army will complete a hat-trick, and defeat Australia.

"Remember, India has beaten Australia twice during the last two tours and Australia has not had a hand on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in almost a decade and that's the reason why everyone will be waiting for these two heavyweights of Test match cricket over the last five to eight years to go head-to-head. The former Indian coach said.

"It is going to be one heck of a series and India have every chance of making it a hat-trick because they've got their bowlers fit and if they can bat well, they can tickle (beat) Australia once again." He added.

Shastri believes India’s batting needs to fire if they are going to retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy. 

"They will be thirsty, they'd be looking to go at the throats of the Indians because they’ve been beaten there (in Australia) twice,’’ Shastri added.

The Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 which includes 5-match series will start from November 22.
