Ravi Shastri sees no reason why India cannot maintain their dominance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy when they tour Australia in November for the first five-Test series between both countries since 1991-92. Shastri was head coach when India triumphed in Australia in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
“Our bowlers are fit… that’s a challenge [for Australia]. The Australian batting line-up is not what it used to be. There is a lot of inexperience out there. There are players who have retired or at the end of their careers. A lot of players have to settle down in the Australian team and make a mark. So, the opportunity [to win again] is there, but Australia in Australia will compete. No question about that,” Shastri told mid-day last week.
