The Border Gavaskar Series was organized for the first time in the year 1996 in the name of two legendary players from India and Australia. Since then, there has been a fierce competition between the two countries, in which sometimes one team is on top and sometimes the other. Meanwhile, this has never happened in 28 years, which happened today, November 22, in Perth. Not only this, this feat has been seen for the first time in the history of Australian cricket in the last 72 years, which will leave you stunned.
The eyes of the whole world are fixed on India and Australia series.
The long awaited Border Gavaskar Trophy was the start of the India vs Australia series. This is a series that not only these two teams but the whole world is waiting for. Due to which it has been made a question of prestige. Whenever these two teams face each other, especially in Tests, the eyes of the whole world are on it. When Indian team captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss, it looked like his decision to bat was wrong. When the Indian team kept losing wickets one after another, this belief became more solid, but the real game started when India started bowling.
Team India could score only 150 runs
The entire Indian team was dismissed after scoring 150 runs. After this it looked like Team India was now on the back foot, but the Indian pace attack changed the whole picture. By the end of the day’s play, Australia had also lost 7 wickets and not even scored 70 runs. After the year 1952 i.e. after almost 72 years it has happened that a Test match is being played in Australia and 16 wickets have fallen on the first day. 72 years i.e. this is the first time this has happened in the Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, as the history of this trophy is only 28 years.
Team India has a chance to take the lead in the series
Team India may have scored only 150 runs, but now Australia has lost 7 wickets for 67 runs in 27 overs, then India’s position can be said to be strong. India still has a lead of 83 runs. It means that if the remaining three Australian batsmen also get out cheaply, India will get the lead only on the basis of the first innings. Which will prove to be very important in this match. Perth’s history has been such that no team has won by chasing runs here. This time Australia will have to bat in the fourth innings and chase the target, which will be very difficult for them. Now the focus will be on how fast Australia’s remaining wickets fall and then how Team India bats in the second innings.
