Mitchell Marsh Talked About India vs Australia Ahead of BGT Trophy:
India has established dominance over Australia in recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, securing victories in the last four encounters, including two triumphs on Australian soil in 2018-19 and 2020-21. With 10 series wins, India now holds a strong edge, while Australia has claimed five, their last win coming in 2014-15. Australia’s previous series victory in India occurred back in 2004-05, further highlighting India’s growing success in the rivalry over the years.
In an interview, Mitchell Marsh highlighted the intense rivalry between India and Australia on the field, while noting the strong camaraderie between the teams off the pitch. He emphasized that competitions like the Border-Gavaskar Trophy play a crucial role in promoting and enhancing the sport of cricket.
He said, “ I think it’s just the cricket that’s been played between the two teams. If you look at the history, the recent history, we’ve won stuff, they’ve won stuff. And I think that when it’s back and forth like that, it builds that rivalry within yourselves. You know there’s great friendships in the Indian team with our team, so there’s no hatred.”
He added, “ But it’s a great on field rivalry, both teams want to win. And Australia versus India, it’s another opportunity to grow the game of cricket. Not that cricket needs growing in India, but worldwide. People tune into these big series.”
