In a five-match Test series, Australia and India will square off with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at stake. It is anticipated that Siraj and Labuschagne will be key players for their teams in the highly anticipated series, which begins in November.
“I like to fight with Mohammed Siraj. In an interview with Star Sports, Labuschagne stated, “It’s been amazing to see how our careers have developed together since we first met while he was working with the MRF pace program.
The right-handed batter continued by complimenting Mohammed Siraj enthusiasm for the game and his intensity on the pitch
He has a lot of enthusiasm and passion for the game. Watching him grow is fantastic,” the 30-year-old said.

Interestingly, these series victories have all occurred by a 2-1 score.
With a number of young players scheduled to travel to Australia for their debut Test match, India is going through a transitional period. After seven years, Australia will believe that this is their greatest opportunity to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy again. But the Indian squad has enough skill to defeat the current World Test Champions in Australia for the third time in a row.
