To delight Test cricket fans, cricket’s governing bodies have decided to expand the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia to a five-match series.
The rivalry between the subcontinent powerhouse and the Aussie juggernaut has produced countless memorable moments. Extending it to five gripping Tests will give viewers more of the nail-biting drama they have come to expect.
Both cricket giants have been consistent powerhouses in the longest format recently, making every meeting between the sides must-watch cricket. The pressure of five grueling matches spread over two months will ratchet the stakes exponentially for the combatants.
Fans can look forward to two tantalizing series down under, followed by an epic Indian summer a year later when the rivals clash on the subcontinent’s spinning pitches under a scorching sun.
Cricket has been riding a wave of resurgence globally post-pandemic, and this move will further boost the popularity of traditional red-ball cricket. The blockbuster Border-Gavaskar battles seem set to get even more epic.
