India vs Australia: Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024 Full Schedule announced

New Delhi: After winning an inspirational series against Australia in the 2021/22 Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), the Indian cricket team is on course to defend the same as they take on Australia in the upcoming BGT 24/25. The Indian cricket team which recently won the ICC T20 World 2024 has undergone a massive transformation with coach Rahul Dravid retiring from his coaching career.

Subsequently, Gautam Gambhir has taken on the reigns of coaching from Gambhir to lead the team in Australia. Although the Bangladesh test series will be the first test of Gambhir, the Border Gavaskar trophy will be the real litmus test for Gauti.

India vs Australia: The 5-match test series

India’s defence of their BGT title will begin in Perth for the first test. Traditionally Perth has always been a pacey wicket which has been the real deal for India. The men in blue have won in Perth only once out of their 4 outings.

Next will be the ‘day/night’ pink ball test to be held in Adelaide where India registered their lowest ever total. Subsequently, the 3rd test is scheduled to take place in Brisbane where India has fond memories of a memorable win in the 4th test of the 21/22 BGT series.

The list ends with action coming up from Melbourne and Sydney, the latter can bear witness to yet another great test victory of India which can see India defend its BGT trophy.

2nd Test (Day/Night) Adelaide Oval December 6-10
3rd Test Brisbane December 14-18
