Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2022–23

Tournament Overview

Series Overview

The 2022-23 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India was another chapter in India's dominance of this fixture at home. India had not lost a home Test series since 2012, and Australia — despite their world-class pace attack — found Indian conditions equally challenging. The opening Test in Nagpur was a statement victory: Australia were bowled out for 177 and then a shocking 91, losing by an innings and 132 runs as Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin exploited a surface that turned sharply. India won the second Test in New Delhi by 6 wickets, taking a 2-0 series lead and defending the trophy at the halfway point. Australia fought back in the third Test at Indore, where they needed only 76 runs and reached the target with 9 wickets intact — a clinical response that kept the series alive. The fourth and deciding Test in Ahmedabad was a high-scoring draw, with centuries from Usman Khawaja, Cameron Green, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli all featuring in a match that could not be separated in the end. India's 2-1 victory meant they had now won four consecutive Border-Gavaskar Trophy series — an extraordinary run of dominance over Australia in India that spanned nearly a decade.
