Although the Test series between India and Australia was played 75 years ago, but today we will tell you about how this series became so exciting.
Border-Gavaskar Trophy happened for the first time in 1996
The Test series between Team India and Australia team is played from a long time ago. But in 1996, the series between the two teams was named the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, only one Test match was played during that time. That too the Australian team came to India and played a Test match and the Kangaroo team had to face defeat by 7 wickets. Since then, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been played 15 times between the two teams and Team India has won it 9 times. At the same time, the Kangaroo team has been able to win this trophy only 5 times and 2 times this trophy ended in a draw.

Kangaroo team dominated before 1996
It has become a matter of Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but before 1996, the Australia team has been very heavy on Team India. From 1947 to 1992, 12 Test Test series were played between India and Australia, in which the Kangaroo team won 7 times and Team India only once. At the same time, the Test series ended in a draw four times. This means that ever since the name of the Test series was Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Team India has left Australia far behind in Test cricket.
