Ind vs Aus
India versus Australia (IND vs AUS) has become one of the biggest rivalries in modern-day cricket. For the next two months between November 22 to January 7, 2025 the cricket world’s attention will be focussed on Australia as the two giants of cricket face off in Perth’s Optus Stadium (from November 22 to 26, 2024) for the first Test, then head to Adelaide (from December 6 to 10, 2024) for Test No 2, then Brisbane (from December 14 to 18, 2024) for the third Test, Melbourne (from December 26 to 30, 2024) for the Boxing Day Test before finally playing the fifth Test at Sydney in the new year (from January 3-7, 2025).
The Indian cricket team comes into the Border Gavaskar Trophy smarting from the humbling series defeat to New Zealand at home.
Heading into the first Test in Perth, India are led by pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah because Rohit Sharma has skipped the game after the birth of his second child. Shubman Gill, meanwhile, is missing due to an injury while training. For Australia, Cameron Green also will not be available.
