The Australian cricket team have well and truly dominated the ongoing cycle of the ICC World Test Championship. They are on top of the points table with as many as 136 points so far.
Pat Cummins and Co have played 15 games so far wherein they have won 10 games, played out for a draw on four occasions and lost just once in the second cycle of the ICC WTC.
They recently locked horns with the South African cricket team in the three-match Test series. Australia won the first two Tests before the third game ended in a tie, which means that they still have a lot of work to do to churn out positive results in the Border Gavaskar Trophy series against Team India.
Australia have top-quality batters and bowlers at their disposal. They will be looking forward to doing well against India in the four-match Test series against Team India, with the first Test slated to be played on February 9 in Nagpur.
Now in this article, let’s take a look at the two Australian batters who may shine against Team India in the Border Gavaskar Trophy series.
1. Steve Smith
It is no secret that Steve Smith has been a significant contributor to Australia in the longest format for several years now. He is also the best Test batsman in the world right now.
Moreover, he loves batting against Team India and will be looking forward to producing a spark with the bat in the Test series. He averages 60 in India where he scored 660 runs in 6 games including 3 centuries and 1 fifty.
2. Marnus Labuschagne
Marnus Labuschagne is one of the players who is likely to do well against Team India in the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy series. Australia’s Test specialist has been consistently delivering the goods in red-ball cricket.
The right-handed batter is yet to play a Test in India but has a pretty good record against them at home. He averages 51.55 against India wherein he scored 464 runs including 1 century and 2 fifties.
