Lack of preparation time for India makes Australia favourites to win Border-Gavaskar Trophy: John Buchanan
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy kicks off November 22 in Perth and it will be a five-Test series for the first time. Former Australia coach John Buchanan tips Australia as favourites, noting India’s lack of warm-up matches. He points to young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal’s adjustment to Australian conditions as key to India’s performance, but the endurance of both the teams will be tested.
