India and Australia first played test cricket against each other in 1947. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy came into existence in 1996, honoring two of the greatest captains and batsmen of their respective countries: Australia’s Allan Border and India’s Sunil Gavaskar.

India and Australia meet around every two years mostly alternating between home and away in a test series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

While Australia hold a dominant record over India in test cricket, with 45 wins and 32 losses, India have won more BGT test matches and test series.

In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy history, India won 24 tests, Australia won 20 matches and 12 tests were drawn. India are way ahead in terms of series wins in BGT: India have won 10 BGT series, Australia won five, and one was drawn.

Both teams have been filled with match-winners who have stepped up to lead their side to a series win over their rival by producing match-winning and series-winning performances.
