    The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is back, and the excitement is building as India and Australia, two of cricket’s most intense rivals, get ready to clash. This series, starting on November 23 in Perth, will feature five Test matches with India needing a 4-0 victory to secure a place in the World Test Championship final. As the players gear up, let’s revisit some of the top records and memorable performances that define the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

    1. Highest Run-Scorer in Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Sachin Tendulkar’s Record Stands Strong

    The record for the most runs in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy belongs to none other than Sachin Tendulkar. Over his career, Tendulkar scored an impressive 3,262 runs in 65 innings against Australia, averaging 56. His performances included nine centuries and 16 half-centuries, with a best score of 241*.

    On the Australian side, Ricky Ponting stands as their top run-scorer in this series, tallying 2,555 runs across 51 innings at an average of 54. Among current players, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, and Steven Smith have impressive Border-Gavaskar records and will aim to add to their tallies this series.

    2. Top Individual Score: Michael Clarke’s Marathon 329 Not Out

    The highest individual score in Border-Gavaskar Trophy history belongs to former Australian captain Michael Clarke. In 2012, Clarke scored an unbeaten 329 in Sydney, occupying the crease for more than 10 hours. His mammoth innings included 39 boundaries and a six, helping Australia secure a victory by an innings and 28 runs.

    For India, VVS Laxman’s legendary 281 at Eden Gardens in 2001 remains the highest individual score in the series. This innings turned the match around for India, leading them to a memorable win after following on.

    3. Top Bowlers: Lyon, Ashwin, and the Spin Dominance

    Spin bowlers have dominated the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with Nathan Lyon leading the way for Australia with a total of 116 wickets. Lyon is followed closely by India’s Ravichandran Ashwin, who has taken 114 wickets against Australia, making for a thrilling rivalry between the two spinners.

    In the trophy’s history, four bowlers have achieved the feat of taking eight wickets in an innings: Nathan Lyon (twice), Harbhajan Singh, Anil Kumble, and Jason Krejza. Krejza’s eight-wicket haul in Nagpur in 2008 stands out, as it was achieved during his Test debut, though he only played one more Test for Australia.

    Among pace bowlers, India’s Zaheer Khan leads with 61 wickets, showcasing the importance of spin in this series.

    4. Most Successful Captain: Ajinkya Rahane’s High Winning Ratio

    Ajinkya Rahane holds the highest winning percentage among all captains in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rahane has led India in four matches in this series, winning three of them, giving him an impressive winning ratio of 75%.

    MS Dhoni, India’s most experienced captain in this trophy, led the team in 13 matches, achieving eight wins, four losses, and one draw. For Australia, Ricky Ponting led the most matches with mixed results: two wins, six losses, and three draws.

    5. Biggest Series Challenges: India’s Quest for a 4-0 Series Win

    The stakes are particularly high for India in this year’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy. To ensure a place in the World Test Championship final, they must secure a 4-0 series win. While such a clean sweep against Australia on their home turf is a tall order, it’s not impossible, especially considering India’s historic series wins in Australia in recent years.

    The Border-Gavaskar Trophy remains a unique stage for legendary performances, memorable rivalries, and record-breaking achievements. As India and Australia prepare to write the next chapter of this saga, fans can look forward to seeing if any of these records will be broken, or if new ones will be created.
