It is an almost inherent ability of cricket to bring the country together in time of its achievements and victories over any famed team. For Indians, the T20 World Cup victory at Barbados will always turn out to be a sweet memory, as they celebrated it and even after years, they relive those celebrations.

Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024, Ravi Shastri made an incisive observation regarding the Test series that will test the mettle of Indian batters against Australian bowlers. Since the matches are to be played in Australia, where the hosts have not won a series for over a decade, from now on their approach would be solely focused on reducing the Indian batters. This series is important from the point of view that it just falls within the WTC cycle, which means there is more at stake for either side.

“It’s going to be India’s batting against the Australian fast bowlers. And of course, the Indian bowling attack is going to be something everyone will be waiting to see. With (Jasprit) Bumrah fit, (Mohammed) Shami fit, you’ve got Mohammed Siraj there. You’ve got the likes of (Ravichandran) Ashwin and (Ravindra) Jadeja and some very good bench strength as well,” added Shastri.
