I am planning on playing all 5 matches.” What does Ricky Ponting predict about the Border Gavaskar Trophy? “The 5 Test match series is going to start once again, which is a matter of joy. In the last few years, only 4 Test matches were played. So everyone is excited. It is not known whether the number of drawn matches will increase or not.
