Mitchell Starc on the BGT Thrills:
Before the iconic Test series, players are high on their confidence and all excited to play. Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc recently stressed that the BGT is as important to Australian cricketers and fans as the Ashes. He highlighted its significant status in cricket.
He said, “For Australian cricket, you’ve got the Ashes and then you’ve got the Border Gavaskar Trophy in there. I mean there’s a long history in the Ashes but that Border Gavaskar rivalry, if you like, has just grown from strength to strength over each series and now we see it as a five test match series which is fantastic for not only the rivalry but for the test series as well.”
Later he added, “Whether it’s the calibre of player, the calibre of matches that we see as fans and as cricketers just continues to grow strength on strength each series and now India obviously winning a number of series in a row, it’s created even a bigger rivalry between the two countries. I mean both teams are well known to one another, we play each other very often across the formats so I’m sure it’ll be another exciting series but one I think that both experienced sides will showcase some fantastic cricket.”

India registered the last four series consecutively. Australia won their last BGT in the 2014-15 season. Australia is ready to change those stats and ready to conquer on its own condition.
