Team India record at Sydney Cricket Ground
The enthralling Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has reached its final destination before a team claims it or shares it; the action begins on January 3 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. So let’s take a look at Team India record at Sydney Cricket Ground.
After starting the series on a positive note by winning the opening Test by 295 runs, team India faced tough time in the next three games, having lost two of three.
The biggest concern India currently dealing with the lack of performance from their experienced players such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant.
Since joining the Team in Brisbane, skipper Rohit Sharma has managed to score only 10 in five innings, with 10 remaining his best. After playing in middle-order in two games, Sharma returned to his designated opening position in Melbourne’s Test, but the Indian captain failed to perform and scored only 12.
Virat Kohli also lost his touch after hitting a hundred in the series opener. While Rishabh Pant was equally inconsistent while batting at number five.
The team has seen dependent on Yashasvi Jaiswal in batting and on Jasprit Bumrah in bowling, but all players need to contribute equally as the Sydney Test will be India’s only chance to retain the BGT. Statistically, India have not lost the BGT in last ten years, including two played in Australia. Let’s look at Team India’s stats at Sydney Cricket Ground.
