Key Takeaways From AUS vs IND Test Series

The much anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia has come to an end. It was an unfortunate ending for India as they missed out on reaching their third consecutive last game of the World Test Championship because of the series loss.

It was a do-or-die situation for Rohit Sharma and company but in the end, things worked against the whole team. Many questions were raised on the players, and arguments were made about the performers of star players but the hosts clinched the series by 3-1.

The fifth and final fixture between the two teams was a low-scoring match where the bowling unit from both ends did the magic. Australian squad played like a group and every section performed equally well but team India was only dependent on one or two players to perform as their dependable players turned out to be of no use.

With the beginning of the new year, both teams will go their own way. Australia will tour Sri Lanka for a 2-match Test series and team India will host England for a 5-match T20i series at home. The online betting apps will have the best odds for both teams in future series. However, the performance of both teams in the Border-Gavaskar trophy from both ends will go a long way.

In this article, we have done a deep analysis of both sides and have come out with some key takeaways from the series.

1) Jasprit Bumrah is a Test cricket Legend

One of the biggest takeaways from the AUS vs IND Test series was the uprising of Jasprit Bumrah. The pacer came out as the only consistent performer from the Indian camp and on many occasions was a lone wolf who carried the baggage of Team India’s performance. He was the leading wicket-taker in the whole tournament and was one of the most economical bowlers. In the long run, Jasprit Bumrah is expected to focus on only Test cricket but he is already a legend of the red-ball format.

2) Uprising of Young Blood

One of the biggest showcases was from the young blood from both ends. Australia selected Sam Konstas in the team for the 4th and 5th Tests and team India had Yashaswi Jaiswal and Nitish Kumar Reddy. The performance of these three players was the major highlight of the series and the future looks bright for all three players. In the next cycle of the World Test Championship, all three players are expected to create new stories for themselves.

3) Flop Show from the Veteran Cricketers

One of the biggest talking points from the AUS vs IND Test series has been the flop show from the experienced cricketers on both ends. Australia witnessed their top order collapsing at an early stage on multiple occasions and team India witnessed the constant failure of Virat Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma. This is a sign of a very dangerous future for both teams and the team management will be expected to make some major changes on both ends.

4) Homecoming for KL Rahul

The Border-Gavaskar trophy proved to be a homecoming for KL Rahul as he was placed again at the top order. After coming back to the top order, KL Rahul suddenly showed positive signs and came out as the key player for Team India at the top. KL still needs to do the work but he can be expected at the top in future Tests for India.
