Labuschagne has been a vital part of the Australian team, following an incredible run of form which sees him sit at the top of the ICC Men’s Rankings in Test cricket. His performance and ability to score runs across innings will be crucial for the visitors, who will hope to see Marcus Labuschagne continue his red-hot form and help the team win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The Aussies will be aiming to win the iconic Border Gavaskar Trophy after losing the last three times. They have not won it since the 2014/15 series on Indian soil and will look to prove a point. India holds the Border-Gavaskar Trophy right now, having won 2-1 during their 2020-21 tour to Australia. They also recorded a win in the previous Test series at home against Australia in 2017 as well as in 2018-19 in Australia.
Heading into the Test series after winning against Pakistan, the longest format of the game will gain some confidence. With a spot in the finals of the ICC World Test Championship 2023 on the line, Australia will be eager to Marcus Labuschagne. It remains interesting to see if the visitors turn a corner on the hosts and emerge victorious.
