India vs Australia Test Series: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played between India and Australia from November. All the fans are eagerly waiting for it. This is the first time that a series of five Test matches will be played in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. For the last four times, Team India has won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. But this time it does not seem easy for the Indian team to win there, because the Indian team had to face a clean sweep of 3-0 against New Zealand on its own home. Team India will go to Australia in two batches for the tour. For this, the first batch of the team left for Australia from Mumbai Airport on November 10. Its video has surfaced.
Mohammad Siraj and Jaiswal left for Australia.
Akashdeep, Mohammad Siraj, Washington Sundar, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill have left for Australia in the first batch. Siraj is seen shaking hands with everyone at the airport. Jaiswal was also seen giving autographs to fans. Indian team’s assistant coach Abhishek Nair was also with these players. In the second batch, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and superstar batsman Virat Kohli will leave for Australia.
