The start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Cricket between India and Australia always has been fun and great entertainment for cricket fans but the 1st ever Bordar-Gavaskar Trophy was started in 1996 when Australia was on a tour of India.
The Australian cricket team toured India in October for a one-off Test, held at Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla. India beat Australia by seven wickets, with Nayan Mongia adjudged the man of the match for his maiden ton in the first innings. It has been the only one-off Test played in India vs Australia Test series history.

Last Series between India and Australia
Team India, plagued with a plethora of injuries and without their talismanic captain Virat Kohli, defeated Australia for the second successive time in a Test series in two years, to retain the high-profile Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Ajinkya Rahane-led Indian cricket team defeated the hosts by three wickets in the fourth and final Test in Brisbane to clinch the four-match series 2-1.
The result meant that the visitors created history as they became the first side to beat Australia at The Gabba in over 32 years.
Interestingly, Australia had won the first Test in Adelaide while bundling out India in the pink ball Test for their lowest test total of 36. However, India registered a stunning comeback at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), winning the Boxing Day Test by eight wickets. Meanwhile, the third Test had ended in an epic draw in Sydney. And then India breached the Gabba fortress to claim the series by 2-1.
