Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar predicts a 3-1 win for India in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, highlighting Australia's vulnerabilities, especially in their batting lineup following David Warner's retirement. Gavaskar emphasizes the importance of mental preparation and the need for Indian players to engage in the mind games initiated by Australian players. Contrarily, former Australia coach John Buchanan deems Australia as favorites due to India's lack of preparation time and adaptability to fast pitches. Buchanan underscores the challenges India will face starting the series in Perth and the absence of warm-up matches as critical factors. The highly-anticipated five-match series, starting November 22, will be the first of its kind since 1991-92, promising intense competition and strategic play from both sides.
