NEW DELHI: Team India entered the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against the formidable Australians with many doubting their chances. Virat Kohli’s dry run with the bat, KL Rahul’s inconsistent form, Rohit Sharma’s unavailability and a overburdened Jasprit Bumrah painted a challenging picture.
However, the Bumrah-led side silenced all critics by thrashing Australia in Perth by a massive margin of 295 runs, wrapping up the contest inside four days.
