Five Players to watch out for in Border-Gavaskar Trophy

The Border Gavaskar Trophy has become one of the most storied rivalries in cricket history. The cricket fans in both countries have been attached and have looked forward to the India-Australia rivalry, which has taken its route and had some amazing battles to look out for over the years. This upcoming series will be watched keenly by all cricket fans.

This will be the first time that it will be held in India since 2017. The last time the series was held on home soil, India won the series 2-1. The last two editions in 2018 and 2021 were held in Australia and were both won by India. Australia are training in Bengaluru ahead of the series. Here are five players to watch out for in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.

#5 Usman Khawaja

Usman Khawaja has been in tremendous form for Australia in Test cricket. He was awarded a medal for scoring the most runs in 2022 in Test cricket for Australia at the Allan Border Medal night. The left-handed batter scored 1080 runs in 11 games in 2022 at an average of 67.50 and a strike rate of 51.50.

The 36-year-old made four centuries and five half-centuries in the white flannels for Australia in 2022. He scored runs in sub-continent conditions in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, which will be a big plus for Australia ahead of the India series. Interestingly, this tour will be Khawaja’s first tour to India.
