November 15, 2024: Ahead of the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which kicks off on November 22 with the first Test at Perth, Indian players Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah were spotted having a light-hearted moment during their practice session. In a funny exchange shared by the Indian Cricket Team on Instagram, the two cricketers reversed their roles and engaged in playful banter.
In the video, Pant jokingly claimed, “Jasprit Bumrah ko pel diya hai maine, net pe out kara hai 1 wicket mila hai” (“I’ve dismissed Jasprit Bumrah and got 1 wicket”). Bumrah, never one to miss an opportunity for a quip, humorously responded, “His bowling action is illegal. It’s not out, it’s a four or a two, I’ve connected a pull shot. He thinks he has 7 fielders there. He should not be allowed to bowl.” The exchange was a lighthearted moment, offering a glimpse into the camaraderie between the two players as they prepare for the series.
The upcoming Border-Gavaskar series will be crucial for both teams, with India having the upper hand in recent years. India has won the last four Border-Gavaskar series, including memorable victories in Australia during the 2018-19 and 2020-21 seasons. This success has seen India establish a dominant record, having won the series 10 times, compared to Australia’s five victories. Australia’s last series win was back in the 2014-15 season, with their last triumph on Indian soil dating back to 2004-05.
The 2024-25 series promises to be an exciting contest, with the matches scheduled as follows:
With both teams in excellent form, this series is poised to be a thrilling contest, and fans are eagerly awaiting the action to unfold in Australia.
