BGT AUS vs IND Dream11 Prediction: The much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024/25 will commence on November 22, Friday, at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
This series has been the most anticipated Test rubber of the year, as the two best Test teams of the past dozen years will collide across five matches. The last time India and Australia met in a five-match Test series was in the 1991/92 series when the Border-Gavaskar Trophy was not yet introduced.
India won the last two Test series in Australia but are far from being favorites this time.
For Australia, this is the first Test series of the home summer. But India are coming after playing five home Tests. While they hammered Bangladesh 2-0, they suffered a historic 3-0 drubbing at the hands of New Zealand. That was India’s first home Test series loss since 2012 and their first-ever home 3-0 whitewash.
India will also not be at their best playing XI in Perth. Captain and opener Rohit Sharma is unavailable following the birth of his child, while Shubman Gill has injured his left thumb during training. Jasprit Bumrah will captain India in Perth in Rohit’s absence.
Australia will field a debutant in Nathan McSweeney in the opening role as Steve Smith has moved back to No. 4 and Cameron Green is injured.
Australia vs India head-to-head:
Australia have a dominant record over India in Test cricket. Out of 107 Tests between the two teams, Australia won 45, India won 32, 29 were drawn, and one Test match ended in a tie.

Australia vs India pitch report:
The Optus Stadium in Perth is one of the most pace-friendly venues in the world. Batting would be difficult throughout the Test match. The pitch curator has promised a lot of pace and bounce for the first BGT Test in Perth. As the match progresses, the cracks on the surface open up, giving assistance to spinners as well with uneven movement. Australia have won all four Tests at the Optus Stadium so far, including the 2018 Test against India.
There have been rain showers in Perth in the lead-up to the Test match, though the forecast is clear for the match days.
Australia vs India Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:
Australia batsman Marnus Labuschagne is the suggested Dream11 captain for this match. Labuschagne is the highest run scorer at the Optus Stadium. In only three Tests here, he’s scored 519 runs at an average of 103 with three centuries, including a double ton and a fifty.
BGT AUS vs IND Dream11 Prediction 3 players to watch out for:
The 3 players to watch out for in the Australia vs India 1st Test are Marnus Labuschagne, Pat Cummins, and Jasprit Bumrah.
