The year may not have been the best for Indian cricket, but both players and fans can take some solace in ending 2022 on a positive note with a victory. Had India suffered their first-ever Test defeat against Bangladesh in the recently concluded second Test in Mirpur, it would have been a fitting reflection of an underwhelming year for the team. With Iyer and Ashwin rescuing India with a vitally important eighth-wicket partnership of 71 runs, the victory was theirs on Monday at the Shere Bangla National Stadium by three wickets, averting what could have been an embarrassing setback.

As known to vexing cricket lovers, the Test series between India and Australia is fittingly termed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). After the greats Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar, BGT was coined by fans as the cherished trophy.

Started in 1996 with one standalone Test in India, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is one of the most intensely fought series in international cricket. Eight times, India has hosted the series against Australia, who has organized it just seven times. India has done the consecutive series on two occasions while Australia only once.
In its rich history, only one series has ended in a draw. Of the 15 editions played so far, India has emerged victorious nine times, while Australia has won five. Having won the last three editions, including two overseas triumphs, India will be eager to extend their dominance, particularly on home soil.
