- IND vs AUS 2nd Test: Australia are in dire need of a victory in the second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India are currently 1-0 in the ongoing series and hence the visitors need to change their fortunes around real quick if they want to stay alive in the series.
- IND vs AUS 2nd Test: The ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy hasn’t been going well for the visitors, the mighty Aussies. India thrashed Pat Cummins‘ side by an innings and 132 runs in the first Test played in Nagpur. With this thumping victory, the ‘men in blue’ are 1-0 up in the series and there are three more Test matches to be played in this series. India are the defending champions of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and it will be an uphill task for the Aussies to outplay the Indian team and get their hands on the trophy.
- As far as the Australian cricket team is concerned, apart from the spinning Indian tracks, they have plenty of problems to address. They have been plagued by injuries to their marquee players and this certainly has dented their hopes even further. The visitors fielded a decent playing XI in the first Test but they missed the services of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Cameron Green. The visitors were highly critical of the Nagpur pitch, but India ended up scoring 400-odd runs on the same wicket. Mitchell Starc was expected to return for the Delhi Test match, but it seems that he is still doubtful and might miss out on the upcoming Test match that is scheduled to start on February 17, 2023.
