Brilliant cricket analyst Harbhajan Singh, in a recent interview, expressed his opinion on the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where India is scheduled to face Australia in five Test matches.
The Men in Blue recently suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat at home to the Blackcaps as the setback has dealt a major blow to India's season. Despite the familiar conditions, India were outclassed by the spin options as the Kiwis boldly dominated them.
Harbhajan Singh picked Australia, considering them slight favorites for the upcoming five-match Test series. The team said India's confidence took a hit after the shock 3-0 defeat at home to New Zealand.
“It will be a 50-50 series. But I will give Australia a little edge because they are playing at home and India’s confidence would be a bit shaken.”

On the other hand, Australia will take advantage of this situation by starting strong and keeping the pressure on India. Thanks to their balanced squad and their good recent performances, they are better prepared for the challenges of the series.
Harbhajan Singh is backing Virat Kohli to do well in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Harbhajan Singh, a close friend of Virat Kohli, has been working with the Indian team since Kohli's debut. He has supported Virat Kohli to deliver a stunning performance in the upcoming BGT in Australia. According to Harbhajan, Kohli's experience and hunger for runs will be crucial to India's chances in the high-profile series.
In an interview he said “Australia is Virat Kohli’s citadel. He should score runs in this BGT. He should score at least 2-3 hundreds in this Test series against Australia as that is Kohli’s standard.”
Australia has been one of the favorite places for Virat Kohli to score runs and fans are expecting him to deliver his best performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He is expected to score two to three centuries in the series, which would show his class and improve India's chances of victory.
