Former Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist has made a big statement on the winner of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He said the five-Test series between India and Australia will be a close affair but hoped that Australia will emerge victorious.
Gilchrist believes that the Indian bowling attack will exploit the Australian conditions, which will make the contest exciting. Former captain Ricky Ponting also said that Australia can win the series 3-1.
Gilchrist’s analysis: Adam Gilchrist told News18 via TOI.
Adam Gilchrist praised the Indian bowling and said it could be the deciding factor in the series. he said
“It’s going to be a tough series for both teams. The onus is on Australia to prove that they are the dominant force at home. India knows how to go out and win overseas. Their fast bowling line-up at the moment is on par with most countries around the world. They are going to enjoy the conditions here. Moreover, they have a brilliantly talented batting line-up. It ‘s going to be very, very equal,”
“Naturally, I will speak of Australia; And I hope they get there. But it’s a very close race. It will be a close contest.”
Will India be able to hold on to their lead?
In the last few years, the Indian team has performed brilliantly against Australia, but this time they will get a tough challenge from the Australian team. India have a strong team at the moment, but the Australian team could be a few steps ahead due to playing in home conditions.
At the same time, Indian experts believe that this time too the Indian team is ready to give a tough fight to Australia. Team India has a strong batting line-up and a world-class bowling attack, which can take on the Australian challenge.
The series between Australia and India will start from November 22 in Perth. The second Test will be a day-night affair in Adelaide while the remaining three matches will be played in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
It will be interesting to see if India can maintain their winning momentum this time around or if Australia manage to regain the trophy at home.
