BGT Schedule 2024-25, IND vs AUS Test Series 2024 Date and Time: At the end of this week, India will start one of their toughest tours in recent memory as they take on rivals Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, starting in Perth from November 22.

An under-fire India side will be coming into the match after getting whitewashed 0-3 by New Zealand on their home turf, their worst defeat in ages. With a World Test Championship final on the line, India will not only have to defeat Australia convincingly in these 5 Tests but will also have to look at other teams’ results.

The visitors will already start the 1st Test at a distinct disadvantage with skipper Rohit Sharma missing out at Perth due to the birth of his second child while Shubman Gill was also ruled out because of a thumb injury. With a fair few players in the squad playing for the first time in Australia, all eyes will be on seniors like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and KL Rahul to hold up their ends of the bargain.
