Australia will host India in a blockbuster five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series starting from November 22. 

The first of the five games will get underway at the Optus Stadium in Perth, and the next four will be played in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney, respectively. 

The second Test at the Adelaide Oval will be a Day-Night game, and India will play a tour game in Canberra against the Prime Minister’s XI side.

With India going for the three-peat, having lost the last series almost a decade ago, have a lot to play for, but come into the series with problems aplenty - losing a Test home series to New Zealand, KL Rahul’s form, Mohammed Shami’s absence and Virat Kohli’s rough patch. 

While on the other hand, Australia have also been dealing with their own concerns, having not yet filled David Warner’s opening slot boots, and Cameron Green being ruled out for the next six or so months. 

Before we dive much deeper, here’s a look the India-Australia batting stats

Michael Clarke’s Sydney triple ton as well as Sachin Tendulkar’s double ton at the same venue were unbeaten knocks. 

The upcoming series is very much likely to decide the fate of both teams of how the World Test Championship final pendulum swings, and is expected to be a mouth-watering contest.
