India Will Win Border-Gavaskar Trophy vs Australia 3-1 - Sunil Gavaskar PREDICTS

India vs Australia: The Indian cricket team will travel to Australia for the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the end of the year. Going by their past battles, the series is going to be nothing short of a cracker. India beat Australia the last two times they travelled to the Southern Hemisphere, so can they make it three out-of-three? It will certainly not be easy to beat the formidable hosts in their backyard. Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, who is closely connected to the game, reckons Australia will have a problem with their batting sans David Warner. The legend also went onto predict an Indian win. Gavaskar predicted India to win the series 3-1.

Gavaskar SAID

“With their opening batting problems exacerbated after the retirement of David Warner and the middle-order also a bit dodgy, the Aussies are ripe for the taking once again,” Gavaskar wrote in his column for the mid-day.

“India being usual slow starters in an overseas series in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries the first Test will be crucial. That they aren’t playing proper first-class games before that as well as in the week-long gaps between some Test matches could work against them,” Gavaskar stated.

“It’s going to be an exciting series for sure with the talent that is there on both sides and it will also show why Test match cricket is the ultimate format of our beloved game. Oh, and my prediction is a 3-1 win for India,” he concluded.

When is The First Test? 

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy series begins in Australia on November 22 in Perth. All these Tests would be part of the World Test Championship.
