Ravi Shastri: The four-match Test series between India and Australia, the world’s two strongest teams, will begin on February 9. The fans are eagerly waiting for this Test series as both the teams always put up a tough fight. Many cricket pundits have been seen expressing their views on this series.
Ravi Shastri, the former head coach of the Indian national team, has also predicted the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. According to Shastri, the Indian team has made all its preparations for the home series and the visiting team will continue to dominate from the very beginning. Shastri told the broadcaster channel, “As far as the result of the series is concerned, I believe that the Indian team will win this series 2-0.”
‘You are playing at home,’ said the former Indian head coach. As a result, you have your strong bowlers. You have got the best batting line-up. I believe you can put the opposition under pressure from the first Test. Remember that during Ravi Shastri’s tenure, India defeated Australia twice in the Test series at their home. India beat Australia at home for the first time in 2018/19.
After this, the series of 2020/21 can hardly be forgotten by any cricket fan. Many of India’s star players could not play in different matches of the series due to injury, but despite this, Team India was successful in winning the series. However, this time under the guidance of Rahul Dravid, the Indian team will go into the series with an eye on reaching the final of the World Test Championship.
With a stellar performance, Australia are on top of the WTC points table this year. The Australian team, led by Pat Cummins, is expected to do well in the upcoming series. However, before the start of the series, the visiting team was in for a shock. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have been ruled out of the first Test.
