Border Gavaskar Series was organized for the first time in the year 1996 in the name of two legendary players of India and Australia. From then till now, there has been a fierce competition between the two countries, sometimes one team gets the upper hand and sometimes the other. Meanwhile, something like this had never happened in these 28 years, which was seen today i.e. on 22nd November in Perth. Not only this, this feat has been seen for the first time in the history of Australian cricket in the last 72 years, which you too will be stunned to hear.
The whole world’s eyes are on the India vs Australia series.
The beginning of the India vs Australia series i.e. Border Gavaskar Trophy was being awaited for a long time. This is a series which not only these two teams but the whole world waits for. This is why it has been made a question of prestige. Whenever these two teams face each other, especially in Tests, the whole world keeps an eye on it. When Indian team captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss, it seemed that his decision to bat was wrong. When the Indian team’s wickets kept falling one after the other, this belief was further confirmed, but the real game started when India started bowling.
Team India could score only 150 runs
The entire Indian team was out after scoring 150 runs. After this it seemed that Team India was now on the back foot, but the Indian pace attack changed the whole picture. By the end of the day’s play, Australia had also lost 7 wickets and had not even scored 70 runs. After the year 1952, i.e. after about 72 years, it has happened that a Test match is being played in Australia and 16 wickets have fallen on the very first day. 72 years means that this has happened for the first time in the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, because the history of this trophy is only 28 years.
Team India has a chance to lead in the series
Team India might have been able to score only 150 runs, but now that Australia has lost 7 wickets for 67 runs in 27 overs, India’s position can be called strong. India still has a lead of 83 runs. That means, if the remaining three batsmen of Australia are also out cheaply, then India will get the lead on the basis of the first innings itself. Which will prove to be very important in this match. The history of Perth has been that no team has won by chasing runs here. This time Australia will have to bat in the fourth innings and chase the target, which is going to be very difficult for them. Now the focus will be on how quickly the remaining wickets of Australia fall and after that how Team India bats in the second innings.
