It’s hard to win the Border-Gavaskar trophy, not the Ashes

The Ashes series is seen as a battle for prestige in Australian cricket. The five-match Test series against England has been going on for ages. The spirit of fighting in the Ashes series has always spread beyond the two countries to the entire cricket world. This time, the Boarder-Gavaskar Trophy is considered a tougher series than the series, two important members of the Australian team, Steven Smith and David Warner.

The 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy is going to start from February 9. The Australian team has already reached India to participate in this series. The Aussie team has also started practice at Nagpur, the venue of the first Test. And that’s where Smith and Warner spoke to the media. According to them, winning a Test match against them on Indian soil is also a tough task. These two Aussie stars consider winning the series against the hosts as a big thing.

Although Smith is hoping to win this tough series. Before taking to the field, the co-captain of the team said, “Winning a Test match against them on Indian soil is a very difficult task. And to win a series is like climbing a mountain. I don’t think the Ashes series is too difficult. In India we have to win this series. If we can, that will be a bigger achievement than winning the Ashes.”

Meanwhile, Warner says, who has played the most cricket on Indian soil, the same thing. “It’s always tough to play against them on Indian soil. It’s a big challenge.Here the world’s best spinners have to face. It is a big challenge. I am ready to take that challenge. Looking forward to playing in this series. Although a difficult task, nothing is impossible. So we will definitely go to the field to win. “

It is to be noted that Australia has also been defeated in the previous series of Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Indian soil. The Australian team was defeated on Indian soil in 2017. Legendary captains like Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting could not win the series. Of course, Indians have ruled not only at home, but also at the Australian ground in recent times. Now wait to see what will happen. Cricket lovers are already excited about this high voltage match.
