Who will win in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India or Australia? See Ricky Ponting's shocking prediction in the video.
Cricket News Desk. Ricky Ponting has made a big prediction regarding the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia starting from November 22. Ponting says that Rohit's army will somehow be able to win only one match out of five. Team India's performance on the last two tours on Kangaroo soil has been excellent. In 2018, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian team defeated Australia four times. At the same time, in 2020-21, under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane, Team India shattered the pride of the Kangaroos.
Ponting made a shocking prediction
Speaking on the ICC Review Show, Ricky Ponting made predictions about the Border-Gavaskar series. He said, “I think somehow Team India will be able to win only one Test out of five matches. In my opinion, Australia looks to be a more balanced, sorted and experienced team right now. Also, we all know how difficult it is to beat Australia at home. In such a situation, I think the result of the series will be 3-1 in favor of Australia. Let us tell you that the Australian team is in great form at the moment. At the same time, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, recently faced a 3-0 defeat at the hands of New Zealand at home.
Kangaroos will benefit from Shami's absence
Ricky Ponting believes that Mohammed Shami's exclusion from the Indian team is good news for Australia. According to Ponting, due to Shami's absence, Team India's chances of defeating Australia have already reduced. Shami could not return to the cricket field after his brilliant performance in the ODI World Cup. The Indian fast bowler also had to undergo surgery due to an ankle injury, after which he is preparing to return to the field. It was believed that Shami would be fully fit and join the Indian team before the third Test match against Australia. However, according to the latest reports, after not being selected in the Ranji team, it has become almost impossible for Shami to play in the Border-Gavaskar series.
