What is the Border Gavaskar Trophy?
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is the iconic Test series between two modern-day cricket powerhouses, India and Australia. It first began during the 1996-97 season when India hosted Australia for a single Test match in Delhi.
However, this wasn’t the first time the two teams faced off. The first Test between India and Australia dates back to the 1935-36 season, long before India gained independence. The series was officially named the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 1996-97, in honor of the legendary cricketers Allan Border of Australia and Sunil Gavaskar of India, both of whom were pivotal figures in their respective teams.
Since its inception, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been contested in alternate editions between India and Australia, with roughly a 1.5-year gap between each series. Over the years, the rivalry has produced some unforgettable moments, such as India’s famous victory at Eden Gardens in 2001, the dramatic triumph at the Gabba in 2021, and Australia’s dominant 4-0 whitewash on home soil.
The only instance since 1991/92 when the trophy wasn’t up for grabs was in 2023, when the two teams faced off in the final of the World Test Championship‘s second edition at The Oval in England. Australia triumphed in that encounter, claiming the WTC title for the first time in their history.
