IND vs AUS: Pakistan Test team head coach and former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie has made a big statement about the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia. He believes that even though Team India is in great form, the bowling team of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon will overpower the Indian batsmen in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Team India is scheduled to tour Australia later this year, where a five-match Test series will be played. Earlier there used to be four Test matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but this time a five-match series will be played. Australia has not been able to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy since the 2014-15 season. India has managed to win the last four Test series between the two countries, including historic victories on Australian soil in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
IND vs AUS: Australia can easily beat India this time – Jason Gillespie
Jason Gillespie, who has played 71 Tests for Australia, believes that the current bowling unit of the team has the ability to change this result. He was quoted by ‘Fox Sports’ as saying, ‘I will support the Australian bowlers and I am confident that they can do this job.’ This former bowler said, ‘They are the best bowlers in the country. Their records tell the story of their success. The presence of Lyon makes this quartet very strong.’
It is worth noting that the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma has not lost a single series in the current round of the World Test Championship. India has defeated West Indies and England in this round, while its series against South Africa was drawn. Gillespie said, ‘The Indian team is in great form and they have been performing very well in Test matches for some time now.
They have defeated Australia in the recent series but I think Australia has a chance to defeat the Indian team this time.’ This five-match series will begin in Perth from November 22. This is the first time since 1991-92 that the two teams will play a five-match series against each other.
