Delhi: The Indian team is currently busy playing a Test series against Bangladesh, but the real challenge will be the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the end of the year. Team India will tour Australia for this series, where a 5-match Test series will be played between the two teams. This will be the first time since 1991-92 that there will be a 5-match series in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India defeated Australia twice in a row in 2018-19 and 2020-21.

Although there is still 2 months left for the start of the upcoming series, the Australian team has already started making strategies against the Indian players.
