India Assistant Coach Abhishek Nayar's Honest Admission Ahead Of Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between Australia and India, assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said going to Australia and playing in their conditions is the toughest challenge for the Indian cricketers.

Former Australian cricketer Michael Clarke expressed that if star India batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli fail to perform during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, they could retire from the format.
