The legendary batsman of Indian Cricket Team Sunil Gavaskar has predicted a 3-1 victory for team India over Australia in the much awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Indian cricket team has won the last two editions of the border the basket Trophy held in Australia i.e. 2018/19 and 2020/21 respectively. The 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy will see India and Australia squaring off in the all-important five-match series at Perth, Adelaide (pink-ball game), Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, respectively.

Gavaskar wrote in his column, “It’s going to be an exciting series for sure with the talent that is there on both sides and it will also show why Test match cricket is the ultimate format of our beloved game. Oh, and my prediction is a 3-1 win for India.”

He further said, “With their opening batting problems exacerbated after the retirement of David Warner and the middle-order also a bit dodgy, the Aussies are ripe for the taking once again. India being usual slow starters in an overseas series in SENA countries the first Test will be crucial.”

Gavaskar also added, “That they aren’t playing proper first class games before that as well as in the week long gaps between some Test matches could work against them. That said, it is how schedules are nowadays for most touring sides.
