With the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on the horizon, it's time to explore which team has dominated this prestigious Test series between India and Australia.
As India prepares for crucial Test series against Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Australia in the lead-up to the World Test Championship (WTC) final in June 2025, the upcoming India vs Australia clash is set to capture the most attention. Both teams, currently ranked first and second in Test cricket, faced off in the previous WTC final, where Australia claimed their maiden WTC title by defeating India.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy will play a pivotal role in determining the finalists for the WTC final. As we gear up for this intense rivalry, here's a look at the historical winners of the trophy.
India has won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy ten times, while Australia has won it five times. Australia’s last series win came in 2014-15, and their last triumph in India dates back to 2004-05. India, on the other hand, is on a four-series winning streak. A win in the upcoming series would mean India has held the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for more than a decade.
