The much anticipated Border Gavaskar trophy is set to kickstart on February 9th in Nagpur. It’s been 11 months since India played a test series at home. This series is extremely crucial to both sides and especially to India as a positive result for them could seal the spot in the WTC final. Currently, Australia and India are holding the top two spots on the ICC World Test Championship cycle. Australia will play 4 tests.
Here are the five things to watch out for in the series.
* Ravindra Jadeja’s return – The star allrounder is making his comeback to the side after nearly five months.
* Rohit Sharma’s impeccable home form – Rohit Sharma boasts of an impeccable home form. He averages 73.33 at home. However, he averages a little over 31 versus Australia in tests.
* Siraj – Mohammed Siraj is in form of his life. He was the highest wicket-taker in the previous Border Gavaskar Trophy edition with 13 scalps in three tests.
