'This is a big one!' Pat Cummins itching to beat India and reclaim Border Gavaskar Trophy

Australia's Test captain is raring to go with the much-anticipated series against India kicking off this week, the first match of which will be held in Nagpur.

It has been 10 years since Australia last won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Indian soil. Cummins will be eager to reverse that narrative because it has not been an easy journey for the team in recent years with India having won the last three series between the two nations.

Australia has not won a Test series in India since 2004. But Cummins is confident that his team can break that streak.

"We've been working towards this for a long time," Cummins said. "It's going to be a tough challenge, but we're up for it. India are a great team and they'll be tough to beat, but we've got the belief that we can win.".

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is one of the most prestigious trophies in cricket, and it is always a fiercely contested series. Cummins knows that it would be a major achievement if he could lead Australia to victory in India.

"It would be a huge honor to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy," Cummins said. "It's one of the toughest trophies to win in cricket, and it would be a great achievement for this team."

The first Test between Australia and India will begin on February 9 in Nagpur. Cummins is expected to lead the Australia team, while Rohit Sharma will captain India.
