India vs Australia Live Streaming: After starting the year on a winning note in the white-ball formats, India will aim to continue the winning momentum in the Tests as well. The red-ball year begins with Team India facing Australia at home in the customary four-match Border Gavaskar Trophy in Nagpur from February 9 (Thursday).

India will be heading into the series without Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer, who were the top scorers for the side in 2022. A series that requires India to win 2-0, 3-0, 3-1 or 4-0 in order to qualify for the World Test Championships final.

However, the presence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Cheteshwar Pujara among others in the squad means India have enough firepower heading into the Border Gavaskar Trophy.

There is a key name missing in the bowling department as well with Jasprit Bumrah is yet to recover from injury. The presence of Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Umesh Yadav among pacers with a flurry of spinners led by the likes of R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav among others make India a potent bowling side for the series.

Australia have made their best effort to show up for the series in full strength but injuries to the likes of Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc have dented their hopes of retaining the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
