It is no secret that Australia are known to play mind games in a bid to put their opponents under pressure. And on Monday, Cricket Australia made an attempt by sharing an old video of India's last tour Down Under.
The video is of India's batting collapse of the 2020-21 series when Australia showcased one of the most lethal bowling displays of all time, bowling them out for just 36 in the second innings of the first Test in Adelaide. "All out for 36. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy starts on Thursday," tweeted cricket.com.au.
But CA's move did not go well with several Indian fans, which also included former cricketer Aakash Chopra who reminded them of the series scoreline as India went on to win the series 2-1.
India and Australia are all set to renew their rivalry for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with the first Test of the four-match series getting underway from Thursday in Nagpur.
Australia have not won a Test series on Indian soil since 2004. India, on the other hand, would look to maintain their dominance having emerged victorious on their previous two tours to the country.
This will be overall the 16th edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which was initiated from the 1996-97 series.
Since then, India have won 9 series out of 15 completed so far, while Australia have won 5. 1 series ended in a draw.
