Australia have been trying to break their losing streak against India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for years now, and their players are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit. As the highly-anticipated series approaches, some Australian stars are seeking to get inside the Indians' heads by reminding them of their humiliating 36-run loss to India in 2020.
The infamous collapse happened in the second Test of the series at the Adelaide Oval, where India conceded the match after being bundled out for their lowest Test score in the first innings. The Indian batting line-up was decimated by the Australian bowling attack, with most of their batsmen getting out for duck.
Now, with the upcoming series expected to be a closely contested one, some Australian players have decided to rub it in by reminding India of that forgettable day. A video posted by an Australian player on social media has gone viral, and it's making news in both countries. In the video, the player can be seen sharing a screenshot of India’s innings from that fateful day, as a joke. However, Indian fans have taken to social media to slam the Australian player, calling the move unsportsmanlike.
It’s worth noting that Australia have not beaten India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy since the 2014-15 series at home. Since then, they’ve lost two series’ each, both home and away. As a result, the pressure is on the Australians to turn their fortunes around and secure a much-needed win against their arch-rivals.
The series is expected to be a battle for bragging rights between the two cricketing giants, with both teams boasting some of the world’s top players. As the series draws closer, fans can expect more mind games and verbal spats between the players, adding to the excitement and tension.
Meanwhile, Indian fans are expressing confidence in their team’s ability to silence their critics and show the Australians that they are a force to be reckoned with. The mood is tense, and the anticipation is palpable as we gear up for what promises to be a thrilling series.
