The Indian cricket team will go head-to-head against the Australian cricket team in the last Test match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 at the Sydney Cricket Ground on 03 January. Australia has gained a 1-2 lead in the series after their massive victory at the MCG on the Boxing Day Test.
The team is preparing for the next encounter with Australia, which will be after mirror image games during a four-day break. Jasprit Bumrah was performing outstandingly by catching 30 wickets so far in the series. It is also rumored that Bumrah may be given the first cap as the captain of the team in the final Test if Rohit Sharma is benched by the management.
The Indian team will be keen on improving from their last game and also make it to a winning note of the series. The match will be an interesting one, as the two teams are good.
