India-Australia Test Series Begins at Optus Stadium

The highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy series between India and Australia kicks off with the first Test match at Perth's Optus Stadium, marking the start of a significant cricket season. Australia, led by Pat Cummins, is eager to secure a Test series victory against India, a feat they haven't achieved in a decade. Despite India's recent 0-3 home series loss to New Zealand and the absence of their captain Rohit Sharma, Cummins acknowledges the challenge posed by India's talented lineup. Shubman Gill's fitness remains a question mark, with Devdutt Padikkal potentially stepping in if needed, while KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal are set to open. As both teams prepare for the Test series, the rivalry continues to captivate fans and analysts, adding another chapter to the storied history between these cricketing giants.
