Melbourne: Pakistan Test team head coach Jason Gillespie believes that the 'in great form' Indian team will be overpowered by Australia's bowling attack in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which includes Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon. Australia has failed to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after the 2014-15 season. India has managed to win the last four Test series between the two countries, including historic victories on Australian soil in 2018-19 and 2020-21.

Kangaroo bowlers can change the result.

Gillespie, who took 259 wickets in 71 Test matches for Australia, believes that the current bowling unit of the team can change this result. He told 'Fox Sports', 'I will support the Australian bowlers and I am confident that they can do this job. They are the best bowlers in the country. Their records tell the story of their success. The presence of Lyon makes this quartet very strong.'

The Indian team is in great form in the third round.

The Indian team led by Rohit Sharma has not lost a single series in the current phase of the World Test Championship. India has defeated West Indies and England in this phase while its series against South Africa was drawn. Gillespie said, 'The Indian team is in great form and they have been performing very well in Test matches for some time. They have defeated Australia in recent series but I think Australia has a chance to defeat the Indian team this time.' This five-match series will start from November 22 in Perth. This is the first time since 1991-92 that the two teams will play a five-match series against each other.
