Border-Gavaskar Trophy is getting heated as the 4th Test match between India and Australia enters its final stages. On Day 5 of the 2024-25 series, an Australian player made waves by mimicking Virat Kohli’s iconic shoulder barge, adding fuel to the intense rivalry between the two teams. This act occurred amid the already heightened emotions of the match, with both teams fighting for supremacy in the series.
Australia, having taken a 2-1 series lead after a dominant performance in Melbourne, is now looking to seal their position in the WTC final. Meanwhile, India’s prospects are increasingly slim, as their chances of qualifying for the final heavily depend on their performance in the Sydney Test. With the series still on the line, the mimicry moment highlighted the simmering tension between the two sides.
This incident only adds to the ongoing saga of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where both teams continuously engage in verbal and physical exchanges, pushing the limits of on-field sportsmanship.
