BENGALURU: When Australia tour India, the build-up is massive with the anticipation of another historic Test series. The last few tours have shown that the hype is for real. Former Aussie captains have referred to India as the ‘Final Frontier’.
The latest episode for the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) is billed as a ‘Test by fire’ as the first Test begins in Nagpur next Thursday. Skipper Pat Cummins & Co have left no stone unturned in their preparations. They had a camp in Sydney, where Indian pitches were simulated; and after touching down in Bengaluru, they have spent some rigorous hours, facing local spinners and others at the Karnataka State Cricket Association Stadium in Alur near Bengaluru.
