One of cricket’s biggest rivalries is surely set to be sparked when India tours Australia in the 2024-25 season. The tour comprises the grueling Border-Gavaskar Trophy and should provide a true trial for the performers, their stamina, and versatility within Australia’s seaming deck. India’s team combines with experience and youth under the leadership of Rohit Sharma to defend the world cup that India had won earlier at home. Here, we take a look at what is potentially the planned squad and their likely roles in the series.
The series is likely to pose a threat to the visitors with Australia’s petulant, fast and bouncing wickets. India’s team have known talent and new comers, who are versatile enough to adapt to these conditions, Indians have in their team. Squad-level grudge matches, as well as bowler pairs as Sharma and Gill against Australia’s fast bowling pair of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, or Kohli against Aussie spinner Nathon Lyon, will definitely keep fans engaged.
India will also have to be prepared for it because Australia has played exceptionally well on their soil and to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Depending on closer battles, the formation of both teams, especially of the middle sequence, will be critical.
India carve out an astonishing victory on their last tour of Australia in 2020-21, which was filled with obstacles; the current team has the same capacity. These fans have every reason to expect an exciting battle when India and Australia, two of cricket’s oldest foes, face off in the series.
