Australia will renew their historic rivalry with India this month, with a mammoth four-game Test series set to decide the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

India are the current holders of the trophy and have had the wood over the Aussies in recent outings, including an unlikely series victory back in the summer of 2020/21. 

After a storied past between the two cricket powerhouses, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy was introduced in 1996 and has become one of the most important prizes in all of Test cricket.

The trophy is named after two of the greats of both countries. Allan Border, Australia's fierce batsman and skipper, and the great Sunil Gavaskar, one of India's greatest players.
