New Delhi: The wait for the exciting “Border Gavaskar Trophy” action is finally over as both sides prepare for the first test scheduled to take place in Perth. India are aiming to secure their third consecutive Test series victory in Australia. However, Team India’s preparations have been far from ideal.
However, with a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) at stake, the men in blue will have to play out of their skin to win the series at least to keep them in the hunt for the WTC spot. The Aussies on the other hand, will be gearing up to avenge the back-to-back home defeat to India in the previous 2 tests.
Naturally, under these circumstances, the first test in Perth becomes very very important to set the tone of the series.
