As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25 draws near, it is difficult to avoid thinking back to the series’ most notorious game, in which the Indian team was bowled out in Adelaide in 2020 for a pitiful 36 runs. India was soundly defeated by Australia after the 36-all out. Nonetheless, India won the series after playing the remainder of it with assurance. After the 36-all out innings.
Ravichandran Ashwin recently spoke out about how former India head coach Ravi Shastri boosted the team’s spirits
“We had just been knocked out for 36, so we weren’t considering winning the series. The dressing room had a somewhat alone atmosphere. Ravi Bhai arranged a supper for the team. He made arrangements for karaoke and got to singing. He performed classic Hindi tunes. Everyone took part. In a conversation with Vimal Kumar on the latter’s YouTube channel, Ashwin said, “We were in a bubble, and Virat was also getting ready to return.”
wished to perform well in Melbourne for the next Test: Ravichandran Ashwin
“Our main goal was to do well in the upcoming Test in Melbourne. We stuck to modest goals,” he continued.
It is noteworthy to mention that one of the key players in India’s 2020–21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy victory was the team’s head coach at the time, Ravi Shastri. Even without players like Mohammed Shami, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, India recovered in the second Test match to tie the series and win it 2-1 following their historic victory at the Gabba in Brisbane.
