BCT 2024-25: First Two Matches Will Be Extremely Crucial For India, Says Former Coach Shastri

By IANS News November 19, 2024 • 12:48 PM View: 1204

India Tour of Australia 2024-25: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri feels that after suffering a 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand at home, the first two Tests against Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series will become 'extremely crucial' for the visitors.

With the World Test Championship (WTC) final berth on the line, India will need to win four of their five matches in Australia to ensure a place in next year's summit clash at the Lord's. “India will be smarting from defeat in that series against New Zealand because they were caught unawares,” Shastri said in a recent episode of The ICC Review.
