India suffered a 3-0 defeat in the three-match Test series against New Zealand on their home ground. Now the next red ball series of the Indian team is in Australia. Where the Indian team will play Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. A 5-match test series will be played between the two. India can create history by winning this series. Because India has been successful in winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy twice consecutively on Australian soil. But before this tour, the great Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar has made a prediction and has also given strong advice to Team India.
Gavaskar predicted
Sunil Gavaskar believes that the Indian team should focus on winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series instead of the ICC World Test Championship final. He said, “I don't think India will beat Australia 4-0. If this happens then it will be a big achievement, but it is not right to expect it now. I think the team should just try to win the series.” It should happen, whether it's 1-0, 2-0 or 3-1. This will bring stability in the team's performance and the fans will also be proud of the team.
India's position in WTC points table
Team India will have to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 4-0 to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25. India has played the WTC final twice before and reaching it for the third time would be a big achievement. But this time the team needs to prove itself, because relying on the results of other countries can be dangerous. According to Gavaskar, there will definitely be pressure on Team India to win the series, but they will also have to understand that winning 4-0 is not only difficult but focusing on it can also distract them from the real goal.
