One of cricket's fiercest rivalries, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between Australia and India, is set to kick off the much-awaited series 2024-25. Not one to disappoint, the two teams will once again put on a keen display, filled with battles and many moments of thriller cricket. Given that both the teams possess world-class cricketing talent, here's how Wasim Jaffer believes India should have their things together. Wasim Jaffer's Strategic Advice for India Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer has finally spoken about how India should approach the Test series against Australia. He believes that India should look to target Nathan Lyon, the leading Australian spinner, as much as possible to gain the upper hand in a series of Tests. According to him, Lyon is a key player in the Australian bowling attack and should be hammered by the Indian batsmen at every cost. Lot of talk about Aus quicks but I think the key man holding Aus attack together is Lyon. Ind should look to go after him. Aus don't have Cam Green who's steady 4th seamer. Aus can afford one of the quicks to have a bad series but they can't afford the same with Lyon. #AUSVIND — Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) November 20, 2024 Lyon becomes that much more crucial since Australia is still without Cameron Green, their all-rounder. Pressure on Lyon might create an imbalance for Australia, giving India the much-needed opening to turn the match around.

Once again, it will be a challenge for their batting lineup headed by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and the spin couple of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, will certainly look forward to making good use of favorable conditions and pressuring the opposition batting.
