The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is a Test series between India and Australia, named after Sunil Gavaskar and Allan Border. Although India and Australia have been playing a Test series since 1947, the series officially began in 1996 when Australia toured India for a Test match. Since then it has been held every 2-3 years either in India or Australia.

Since 1947, both Australia and India have hosted Test series 14 times each (28 series in total). Australia won 12 times, India 11 times and the series was tied five times. The complete India-Australia Test Series Table is summarized below.

This series was marked by the excellence of three Indian all-rounders – Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. Virat Kohli’s resurgence, Usman Khawaj’s defiance and Nathan Lyon’s effectiveness were factors in another fascinating Test series. statistically

Embed from Getty Images If you’ve seen the first series of The Test, you’ll know what a thorn Pujara has been in Australia’s plans. He defended, defended and defended some more. He scored tons of runs in the process. Rishabh Pant and Tim Paine showed some nice moments, Nathan Lyon vs Pujara & Pant were mesmerizing. Bumrah’s slower delivery to dismiss Shaun Marsh will forever be etched in the memory. But to sum it up, it was Kohli’s captaincy and the fast bowling revolution that was the key to India’s success. Australia have been without the services of Warner & Smith as they try to recover from the ball-tampering scandal, but that doesn’t take anything away from India. statistically

Bgt: Cricket’s Big Fight

Australia started with a massive win and hopes of winning the series in India. Pujara scored another double century and some twenty fifties. It’s starting to become a pattern, isn’t it? Steve Smith with scores of 109, 178, 111 was the best but Ravis (Ashwin & Jadeja) were too hot to handle. Other players also played decent roles. Nathan Lyon went eight for and Steve O’Keefe secured his first win with a 6 iron. KL Rahul with fifties, Matt Renshaw, Shaun Marsh, Rahane, Wade also contributed to what was a competitive series. statistically

Inset from Getty Images Although India did not exorcise the ghosts of 2011, Team India offered a glimmer of hope. It was the year of Mitchell Johnson and although he was Australia’s best player, the partnership between Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane will always be remembered. Just watch this clip. Virat Kohli’s twin in Adelaide became a Test classic and set his career on the right track. But Steve Smith. 769 rides. Genius. Nathan Lyon. 23 goals. Aussie legends are taking over this series. MS Dhoni surprises with his exit after the third Test and Ryan Harris departs after another memorable performance. statistically

Michael Clarke’s unforgettable year, MS Dhoni’s double and the greatness that is Ravichandran Ashwin. Pujara also scored a double and Vijay continued his best years with 167. But this series will be remembered for Shikhar Dhawan’s brilliant 187 on debut, Starc’s 99 in the 8th over and Steven Smith making his debut on Asian soil. statistically

Embed by Getty Images Australia crushes India. Should I say more? Rub. A disaster. Michael Clarke hit 329* and 210, Ricky Ponting averages 108.8 and also has a double. Hilfenhaus & Siddle have 50 wickets between them. James Pattinson is (briefly) announcing himself on the international scene. Rahul Dravid was bowled 7 times. The end of an era. Kohli’s 116 in India’s 4th Test is the only positive. This tour will forever be remembered for the infamous 0-8. statistically

A short but sweet series. The Mohali test is an all-time classic. VVS Laxman, back spasms and a successful lower order fighter. In the second Test, Tendulkar continued his dream revival year with 214 and 53*. In the second innings, Rahul Dravid should have been dropped from the number 3 position to someone else. Someone else turned out to be Cheteshwar Pujara, who scored a counter-attack 72. Cheteshwar Pujara — Australians in counter-attack since 2010. Stats

Embedding from Getty Images The series has proven to have drama off the field as well as on it. What started as a great Test series era in 2000-01 ended in 2007-08 with some questionable decisions and the Monkeygate crisis. Tendulkar continued to score, Anil Kumble took wickets but Brett Lee was the pick of the players in the series. statistically

Embedding by Getty Images Australia Damien Martyn’s venture finally breaks the bastion in India. Young Michael Clarke, Gilchrist and Gillespie contributed to their efforts. India’s rotating trio of Kumble, Harbhajan and Murali Kartik took 60 wickets between them but failed to win. statistically

Dravid’s 233 & 72* with VVS Laxman torturing Australia again. Sachin Tendulkar resists the urge to score 241*, India’s top man Kumble again with the ball, Ganguly scores a ton. Sehwag, Hayden, Martyn, Steve Waugh, all among the runs. Gillespie, Agarkar, MacGill and Lee between the wickets. Something for everyone. Lots of great players of this era in top form. A well-deserved 1-1 series. statistically

Embed from Getty Images The streak that started the rivalry. Steve Waugh’s last boundary was so close but so far. VVS Laxman’s highest innings, 281, and partnership changed the story of this series and Indian cricket in general. Shane Warne’s expression that day said it all. Sourav Ganguly, the charismatic captain leading India after the match-influencing era, Sachin Tendulkar does what he does best (with googlies) and Harbhajan Singh is in a class of his own. The top three Indian bowlers in the rankings are: Harbhajan (32), Tendulkar (3), Zaheer Khan (3). From the Australian end, Hayden, McGrath, Gilchrist, Waugh, Warne and Gillespie played a part in the series. statistically

Embed from Getty Images Apart from India’s individual performances, Australia completely stunned the visitors. Ricky Ponting was the top scorer and Glenn McGrath was the man of the series, two names that would crop up again and again over the next decade. Tendulkar was the man of the series but VVS Laxman’s 167 gave Australia a taste of what they would face in the future. statistically

Gavaskar was an iconic Indian batsman who played 125 Tests for India, scoring a record 34 centuries. He held several batting records and is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen to ever play the game. On the other hand, Border was an Australian all-rounder who led Australia to their first World Cup victory in 1987. He played 156 Tests.
