Anticipation is growing for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) match between India and Australia, which many view as the sport of cricket’s fiercest rivalry. As the top two teams in Test cricket, both sides are dominant on the global scene, therefore the next series, which begins on November 22, looks to be an exciting match.
Australian cricket players Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh, and Usman Khawaja exclusively spoke with Star Sports to discuss their thoughts and enthusiasm for the upcoming series. They discussed the importance of this long-standing rivalry, which has only grown more intense in recent years, as well as the intense rivalry and mutual respect.
As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy draws near, Australian batsman Usman Khawaja discussed the significance of the rivalry between India and Australia. “We’re actually the top two teams in the world over the last two years,” he remarked. Together, we attended the most recent World Test Championship. There has always been intense rivalry.
I see it as a show of respect, and I am aware that Indians like winning cricket matches against Australia. And Australia’s image as one of the top teams in the world of cricket has been cemented by its longstanding legacy of dominance. I believe that defeating Australia has always been the goal for Indians. And in more recent times, with India’s ascent, the IPL, and other events, Australia and India have faced off in a similar manner.
especially now that India has emerged victorious from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy the last two years, when they defeated Australia in Australia. It simply has a somewhat greater meaning.
Josh Hazelwood talked about how excited he was about the upcoming BGT series. Indeed, that pretty much sums it up—toughest rivalry, he remarked. Playing against India is always a big challenge since they are accustomed to the weather here and enjoy it. You are aware of the enormous difficulty in Australia. Regardless of the player, they are batting their top six or seven, which is incredible.
Naturally, I played them in my first series, and although we prevailed, it may have been our last encounter. Many of the same guys are still active; in that particular game, I believe I got Virat. I suppose that’s why so many of our players haven’t defeated India in a test series. Guys like Cameron Green and Travis Head were among those playing. We will have a busy summer ahead of us, hopefully winning back that trophy.
Marsh discussed the importance of BGT in her opening remarks, pointing out that Australia and India play different styles of cricket, which has led to a fierce rivalry between the two nations. According to Marsh, the rivalry between the two titans of cricket has arisen as a result of some recent outcomes being in their favour while others went in India’s benefit.
Prior to the BGT Series, Mitchell Marsh discussed the rivalry between Australia and India. “I believe it’s just the cricket that the two teams have been playing,” he remarked. You only need to look at recent history to see that both they and we have achieved success.

And in my opinion, when it’s back and forth like that, it fosters internal competitiveness. You are aware that our team and the Indian team have wonderful friendships, hence there isn’t any animosity.
However, both teams have a strong on-field rivalry and desire to win. And the match between Australia and India presents yet another chance to advance cricket. Not that cricket needs to spread throughout India, but it should. People watch this popular programs.
