Australia are preparing hard to face team India in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The series is going to start on 9 February 2023 in Nagpur. The Aussies last won a Test series in India in 2004/05. So, it will be a huge task for them to win a Test series in the Indian condition. Currently, they are in Bengaluru in a four-day camp in order to get prepared for the series.
The last Border-Gavaskar Trophy took place in India in 2016/17. India won the series 2-1 that time. After that, the Men in Blue registered two memorable Test series victories in Australia. So, the Aussies will finally look to win this series this time around. Now, Cricket Australia shared a video on Twitter in order to boost the morale of their team ahead of the series.
Here is the shared video:
All out for 36 😳

India won the last Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia by 2-1
Speaking of the video, they shared the video where team India got bundled out for just 36 runs in the first innings of the first Test at Adelaide in 2020/21. It was one of the darkest days in the history of Indian cricket as the Indian batters were absolutely clueless against the Aussie bowlers. In that match, finally, Australia managed to win the match by eight wickets. After that disaster, every fan was expecting India to get whitewashed in Australia as skipper Virat Kohli came back to India for the birth of his and his wife Anushka Sharma’s first child.
But, team India made a great turn-around in the next match in Melbourne. Ajinkya Rahane led the Men in Blue to an eight-wicket victory. Then, in the third Test at Sydney, Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin showed great courage to draw the match for India. After that, in the fourth Test at Gabba, India created history by defeating Australia by three wickets. Thus, they destroyed Australia’s fortress by breaking their winning streak at that venue in the last 34 years. So, as Cricket Australia shared the video on 6 February 2023, some fans came up and trolled the Board by asking to tell about the final result.
Here are some viral tweets that trolled Cricket Australia for sharing the video:
