Clash of Titans: Kohli vs Smith in the Border Gavaskar Trophy

Australia's Glenn Maxwell eagerly anticipates the showdown between cricket legends Virat Kohli and Steve Smith in the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy. Both players, part of modern cricket's 'Fab Four', promise an exhilarating series. India's recent dominance adds extra spice to this long-standing Australia-India rivalry.

Australia's all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is eagerly looking forward to witnessing the epic duel between cricket superstars Virat Kohli and Steve Smith during this year's Border Gavaskar Trophy against India.

Kohli and Smith, considered two of the 'Fab Four' batsmen of modern cricket alongside England's Joe Root and New Zealand's Kane Williamson, are set to reignite their competitive rivalry.

Maxwell emphasized the significant impact these two powerhouse players will have on the series, predicting a thrilling contest. Both Kohli and Smith, once fiery rivals, now share a more evolved relationship on the field. Smith even remarked on Kohli's combative spirit, likening it to an Australian attitude.

India will tour Australia for the highly anticipated five-Test series starting November 22 in Perth. Australia has not won the Border Gavaskar Trophy since the 2014-15 series, with India capturing four consecutive victories including historic wins in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
