NEW DELHI: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is set to reignite one of cricket’s fiercest rivalries as India take on Australia in a five-match Test series.
This series, which begins on Friday, November 22, at Perth's Optus Stadium, carries immense significance for both teams. India, the current holders of the trophy, have dominated recent contests, winning the last four series, including two historic triumphs on Australian soil in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
Australia, on the other hand, are eager to end their decade-long drought in the series, having last won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2014-15.
With both teams occupying the top two spots in the ICC World Test Championship points table, the stakes are higher than ever. The clash also serves as an opportunity for individual brilliance, as star players from both sides aim to leave their mark in one of cricket's most prestigious rivalries.
