Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Why Perth may not be an ideal start for India against Australia

Team India’s Test matches in Perth have been a mixed bag of close defeats and historic victories. From Sachin Tendulkar’s iconic century in 1992 to their first win at the WACA in 2008, breaking Australia’s 16-match winning streak, the Indian team has showcased resilience and skill on Australian soil. Indian batsmen, brought up on the low and slow dusty tracks at home, don’t have a formidable record at the WACA, though there have been some memorable and exceptional performances.
