IND vs AUS :Top 5 Sledges in Border- Gavaskar Trophy

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played between India and Australia on Indian soil for the first time since 2017. The last time the three-Test match series was held on Indian soil. India won the series 2-1. The Men in Blue have clinched the last two editions of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Test series highlights the rivalry between the two countries, and it speaks volumes about the cricketing culture of the two nations.

The Trophy is a prized possession of both teams and has seen some riveting contests over the years with a lot of banter and fun moments on the field taking place between the two teams. Amid this heated rivalry, both sides have seen some banters happen amongst the players over the years.

5 Sledges in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy

1. Tim Paine sledging Ravichandran Ashwin (Sydney 2021)

In the famous Test in Sydney, where India held a draw in 2022, Tim Paine kept going at Ravichandran Ashwin with 10 overs to go in the day. The sledge went like this, “I can’t wait to get you to the Gabba,” Paine said. “Just like we want to get you to India, it will be your last series,” Ashwin gave a terrific reply.

This sledge is very iconic as India drew the Sydney Test first during a very hostile bowling spell from the Australians. Also, the phrase of Australia getting India at the Gabba did not come true as India made another historic win at Brisbane with a second-string side against Australia to win the series 2-1.
