The 5-match Test series between india and australia will begin on november 22. From 1940 to 2017, india had never won a Test series on Australian soil. But the 2018-19 Border Gavaskar Series and Border Gavaskar Trophy held in 2021-22 made a record 2 times in a row. Apart from that, in the last 10 years, the Border Gavaskar trophy has not been won by the Australian team even once. The indian team continues to dominate the Border Gavaskar Trophy series. Many players who have played in the Australian team have never defeated the indian team in a Test series.
Australian players are desperate to avenge the indian team. Captain Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, and others have been rested for up to 2 months for this. The Australian team management has given this rest to the players to prepare fresh to face the indian team. Speaking about the Border Gavaskar Trophy at this stage, australia player Mitchell Starc said it will be interesting when he meets the challenge against Virat Kohli. Both of us have played a lot of cricket matches. There will always be a challenge and competition between the two of us. I have only bowled him a few times.
I must also say that virat kohli has scored a lot of runs against me. He said that the healthy competition between us will continue. Mitchell Starc has taken the wicket of virat kohli 4 times so far. Similarly, virat kohli has scored 236 runs only against Mitchell Starc. Virat Kohli's batting average against Mitchell Starc is 59. Apart from that, virat kohli, who has played 13 Test matches in australia, has scored 1,352 runs including 6 centuries. Mitchell Starc, who has played 50 Test matches at home, has taken 217 wickets. Due to this, the clash between them has increased the expectations among the fans.
And Glenn Maxwell said steve smith and virat kohli are both superstar players. I have seen both of them up close. This Test series will be a great matchup between the two. Who will score more runs is also an added expectation. Rather than a match between the two, the 2 best players of this generation will be going head to head. He said that it will be interesting to see.
