India is all set to lock horns with Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy starting 9th February 2023. The Australian cricket team has arrived in India, and the first Test match of the series, which will be an important match in deciding whether India will play the World Test Championship final or not, will be played at Nagpur.
The two giants of cricket, Virat Kohli and Steve Smith, will shoulder the responsibility of carrying their teams in the Test series with the bat. Their fierce rivalry is again going to heat up the battle between India and Australia. It’s best vs best in this upcoming series, and the Australians will look to take redemption after losing against India at Gabba in the previous Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Virat Kohli was absent for the most part of the previous Test series between India and Australia. However, this time around, he is going to be fully available for the series, and the fans are getting excited about the battle between Virat Kohli and Steve Smith on the field.
India and Australia played a highly controversial Test series in India the last time the Aussies visited the tri-colour nation. Virat Kohli labelled Steve Smith led the team as cheaters in front of the media after a controversial review demand by Steve Smith in one of the matches.
