“Looking forward to it”: Pat Cummins speaks ahead of Border-Gavaskar series

The Australian captain believes that it is time for his side to make amends for the losses that they suffered against India at home for the past 2 occasions

Australia captain Pat Cummins has fired a warning to the Indian team ahead of the 5-match Border-Gavaskar series set to take place in November.

Australia has failed to win against India at their own turf in the last 2 occasions and Cummins feels that ‘it is time to make amends’ for those defeats. He also feels that Australia’s win over India in the World Test Championship final will give his side the edge in the series.

“The last two series here in Australia, we haven’t been successful, so it’s been a long time. Hopefully, it’s time to make amends,” Cummins told Sport Star.

“You know, we’ve played them plenty of times where they’ve beaten us, but we’ve also had plenty of wins against them as well, which we’ll draw confidence from. The most recent Test match was, of course, the World Test Championship in neutral conditions, and we came out on top in that match. It’s always fiercely competitive, and it always feels like it’s 50-50. I’m 10 out of 10 excited for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy,” Cummins added.

The 5-match Test series is set to commence from November 22 with the first Test to be played in Perth.
