India's 2024 tour of Australia
India's 2024-25 tour of Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy promises to be a thrilling contest, with some of the best Test players in world cricket. The series will be played across Australia's five largest cities, including Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. The first Test will be held at the new Perth Stadium from 22 November 2024, marking the beginning of a five-Test series. This will be the first five-match Test series between the two nations since India's tour of Australia in 1991-92.
India A toured Australia from 31 October to 10 November 2024, ending just five days before the official Test series started. They played two games against Australia A. The first match was held at the Great Barrier Reef Arena from 31 October to 3 November, and the second at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from 7 to 10 November.
The highly anticipated series between India and Australia kicked off with the first Test in Perth. India secured a commanding 295-run victory, despite a collapse in the first innings. Led by Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian bowling attack dismantled the Australian batting lineup, dismissing them for 238. However, Australia bounced back in the second Test, a day-night encounter at the Adelaide Oval, exploiting conditions with pink balls under lights. India struggled against the bowling of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, resulting in a ten-wicket defeat and levelling the series at 1-1.
The remaining fixtures of the series will be held at iconic venues across Australia. The third Test is scheduled for the Gabba in Brisbane from 14 to 18 December, followed by the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from 26 to 30 December. The final Test will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground from 3 to 7 January 2025, concluding an intense and competitive series between these cricket powerhouses.

The Trophy is played via a Test series scheduled using the International Cricket Council's Future Tours Programme. The winner of the Test series wins the Trophy, and if a series is drawn, the country holding the Trophy retains it. The series is held every year between October and March, based on both teams' calendars and schedules, and takes place alternately in Australia and India.
India has historically been very successful against Australian teams in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, winning 10 out of 17 test series, with Australia winning 6 times and one series ending in a draw. India won three Trophies in a row in 2017, 2018-19, and 2020-21, with the 2018-19 Trophy marking the first time India had won a Test series on Australian soil. Australia won the Trophy in 2014-15 and 2004-05, the latter being the only time they have beaten India at home.
In 2023, Australia toured India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with India winning the four-match Test series 2-1. The Trophy was held in India for the last time in 2023, with the BGT scheduled to be held every two years in alternate countries.

India is set to tour Australia for a five-match Test series in November 2024. However, before that, Australia will tour India in 2023 to play four Tests as part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Regarding India's attendance at the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, the games involving India were very well attended. The India vs Pakistan match on 23 October 2022 saw the highest attendance of the tournament so far, with 90,293 spectators.

- India vs South Africa: 44,251
- India vs Bangladesh: 29,302
- India vs Zimbabwe: 82,507
- India vs England (semifinal): 40,094
All of India's games had the highest attendances at these grounds for the T20 World Cup. For example, 44,251 people attended India vs South Africa in Perth, whereas Australia's game against Sri Lanka at the same venue attracted 25,061 spectators. India's match against the Netherlands at the SCG had 36,426 in attendance, surpassing the 34,756 crowd for the Australia vs New Zealand tournament opener.
