Perth Stadium Pitch. (Source – X) India have dominated the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the last few years, with Australia last winning the trophy in 2016-17. Since then, the Border-Gavaskar series has been organized twice in Australia and India has won it both times. The upcoming edition of BGT is scheduled to begin from November 22 with the first Test in Perth and the Indian team has reached Australia for the same. With less than 10 days left for the series to begin, Western Australia Cricket’s chief curator Isaac McDonald mentioned that Perth will be based entirely on pace and bounce. Isaac said the main objective of creating a fast-paced pitch was to replicate last year’s scenes. Australia is preparing a dangerous pitch for the Perth test match Notably, during the West Indies series, Perth’s pitches were under question due to lifeless decks and Isaac provided bounce and fast pace in the subsequent series against Pakistan. Isaac McDonald was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying, “This is Australia, this is Perth… I am preparing the pitch for really good pace, really good bounce and really good carry.” According to a report in The West Australian, the WACA stadium is currently in lockdown, which is reminiscent of the time when the Indian team reached Perth during the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. Its boundaries were covered with nets and closed to the public and apart from this, even the stadium staff were not allowed to use phones inside. Let us tell you that, India had to play a practice game against the India A team led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, which was already in Australia for a two-match unofficial Test series against Australia A. However, BCCI canceled the practice match after the clean sweep against New Zealand in the home Test series. BCCI does not want Indian players to get injured at the last minute.

Let us tell you that the five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. The first test between these two teams will be played in Perth. The Australia team has not played any Test match since March this year, while Team India recently suffered a 0-3 defeat in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship 2024-25, then they will have to win the upcoming Test series against Australia by a long margin. Chetan Sharma while talking to Times of India said, ‘I can say 100 percent that Team India will beat Australia in Australia. Under Rohit’s captaincy we will complete the hat-trick of wins in Australia. India will beat Australia once again in their own home. We have beaten Australia twice in a row at their home. The pressure will be on Australia. This pressure will be on Australian captain Pat Cummins and not on Rohit Sharma. Whenever Team India has toured Australia, we have enjoyed a lot. We have praised the game of Team India not only in Australia but also in the tour of South Africa and England. Whenever the players of the opposing team have said that this is going to be a very good series, then we can understand that there will be pressure inside them also. Chetan Sharma presented his side regarding Rohit and Virat Regarding Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are struggling with poor form, Chetan Sharma said, ‘We should respect Rohit and Virat. These two are never out of form. We should never use wrong words for both of these. We should be happy that both these players are still performing well and are playing an important role in Team India’s victory every time. I am confident that Virat and Rohit will be seen batting brilliantly in Australia. Let us tell you that, if Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then they will have to win the five-match Test series against Australia by 4-0. If Team India fails to do this then it will be very difficult for them to reach the final of this important event.
