Australia vs India head-to-head stats and records you need to know before BGT 2024/25 series

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) is just a few hours away as India and Australia are ready to lock horns for the five-match Test series. The opening Test, scheduled at Perth Stadium, will start at 7:50 AM IST from November 22.

Jasprit Bumrah will be the stand-in skipper for India in the absence of Rohit Sharma, who is expected to join the team on November 24. Devdutt Padikkal, who has also been added to the team, is likely to bat at number three after Shubman Gill endured an injury while practicing.

Nathan McSweeney will make his international debut for Australia as the hosts look for a more stabilised opening slot after Steve Smith's ordinary performance at the top of the order.

When India and Australia last met, it was at the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final. Unfortunately for India, the Rohit Sharma-led side lost that game badly, going out by a margin of 209 runs.

Prior to that, Australia came to the Indian shores for a four-match series. India won the first game on the back of Rohit Sharma's century. Then, Axar Patel's all-round heroics beat Australia in New Delhi. Australia bettered the hosts in Indore before a placid pitch in Ahmedabad ended the series at 2-1 in India's favor.
