Border Gavaskar Trophy, Australia vs India Test Series 2024-25 Venues

India and Australia will contest a five-Test series in Australia starting 22 November 2024, with games spanning Perth to Sydney. Each of Australia vs India Test Series Venues offers unique conditions and challenges.

1. Optus Stadium, Perth

Perth’s Optus Stadium is a challenging venue for visiting teams. Since the first Test in 2018-19, Australia has registered four comprehensive wins here. In India’s 2018-19 tour, Virat Kohli smashed a brilliant century here but it wasn’t enough to overcome Australia’s bowling attack. Besides a pace-friendly pitch, the venue offers exceptional bounce, which Nathan Lyon has exploited effectively, taking 27 wickets at an average of 18.

2. Adelaide Oval

The Adelaide Oval will host another pink-ball Test in this series. Australia’s unbeaten record in day-night matches at Adelaide adds to their confidence. Moreover, it is the ground where India’s infamous “36 all out” came in 2020-21. However, India has tasted success here, winning a day Test in 2018-19.

The Gabba is one of the venues of the Australia vs India Test Series where India will feel the most confident because of the 2020-21 triumph. Recently, the venue has featured unpredictable pitches where bowlers have had an upper hand.

4. Melbourne Cricket Ground

Historically, a batting-friendly venue, the MCG has seen a shift to a fast-bowling-friendly venue. Indian cricket team, with 2018-19 and 2020-21 test wins here, will be confident at the venue.

5. Sydney Cricket Ground: Spin and Rain Impact

The SCG is one of the few venues in Australia to offer spin-conducive conditions. Fast bowlers extract some reverse swing at the ground to make an impact on the game.
