With India and Australia gearing up for the high-profile Border Gavaskar trophy, experts are calculating which players can make a difference in the series.
Both the teams in their teams and the series are set to be riveting providing edge of the seat excitement.
The Australia media has already gone overboard and has begun the mind games.
A couple of days back, the front page of a local newspaper, had a picture of Virat Kohli with a title in Hindi translated to ‘Fight for the ages’ and had Yashasvi Jaiswal on the back page with the title in Punjabi that translate to ‘The New King’.
On this occasion, a viral video shows former cricketers Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan during a talk show where the former England captain Vaughan has picked his watch out player in the summer from the Indian squad.
Vaughan said, “Yashasvi Jaiswal would be one, but Rishabh Pant, I think he is absolutely box-office. He makes batting look more like he’s just playing in the backyard. For India to be really competitive, this man on screen Rishabh is gonna have to play a blinder once again.”
During the Australia Border Gavaskar Trophy in 2021-22 season, Rishabh Pant played athe most iconic innings in Test cricket history.
Pant played a match winning knock with an unbeaten 89 runs off 138 deliveries to chase down 328 runs on the fifth day as India achieved a record chasing victory at Gabba.
Pant’s fearless approach and unyielding belief, even under immense pressure. His aggressive mindset combines with clever shot selection, helped India pull one of the greatest chases in Test cricket.
This was his major tournament in career which elevated him as a cricketer who thrives in high pressure situations and uses hi attack play to turn games.
The five-match test series will kickstart on November 22 while the second test will be played on a day-night format under the stadium lights starting on December 06.
The third test will be played in the Gabba which will be held between December 14-18. The fourth test will be played between December 26-30 at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The fifth and final test at the Sydney Cricket Ground from January 3-7 will give a promising dramatic conclusion for the exciting contest.
