Excitement Builds for Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth

The anticipation for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is at its peak as the teams prepare for the first Test in Perth. Mitchell Starc, spotted near the WACA with a bag of groceries, will be all business once the match begins at 10:20 am on Friday. The series has been building for months, with Rohit Sharma and Pat Cummins discussing it throughout their respective seasons, and both teams are ready for a fierce contest.

Australia has settled their opening partnership with Nathan McSweeney making a late push for the spot, while India has several players like KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, and others on standby if needed. The stage is set for the experience of these star-studded teams to shine.

As the first Test approaches, preparations are in full swing at Perth’s Optus Stadium, with drills taking place on the eve of the match. It won’t be long before Jasprit Bumrah charges in, Steven Smith returns to No. 4, Virat Kohli fires up the crowd, and Rishabh Pant’s lively presence is heard via the stump mics. All eyes are now on the opening day, just one sleep away.
