Sunil Gavaskar Predicts India Victory in Australia Test Series

Sunil Gavaskar has boldly predicted that India will win the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia by a margin of 3-1. Gavaskar highlighted Australia's batting woes following the retirement of David Warner and expressed concerns about their middle order, calling it 'dodgy'. He noted the importance of a strong start for India, historically slow starters in overseas series, especially given the lack of proper first-class matches in their preparation. As the series begins on November 22, India aims to secure a historic hat-trick of Test series wins in Australia, having not lost a Border-Gavaskar Trophy since 2014-15. Gavaskar acknowledged the challenges posed by the congested cricket calendar but remains optimistic about India's chances, emphasizing the excitement of the upcoming matches. Meanwhile, Ricky Ponting has countered Gavaskar's prediction, firmly backing Australia to win on home soil.
