Indian Summers

FEATURES A PREVIEW TO THE 2024-25 BORDER-GAVASKAR TROPHY

'This rivalry has got bigger and bigger. It's not just Australia and India. The entire cricketing world is watching.' - Ravi Shastri

Cricket superpowers Australia and India share a unique rivalry that has produced some of the greatest - and most heated - battles the game has seen. In Indian Summers bestselling author and journalist Gideon Haigh has captured a century of fierce competition between the two nations, from Bradman versus Hazare through to Warne versus Tendulkar to Cummins versus Kohli, from 1986's unforgettable tied Test in Chennai to 2021's Indian coup in Brisbane. He relives the titanic struggles of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the World Test Championship, the ODI World Cup and the T20 World Cup, and explores the near-mystical bond of two countries divided by a common game.

From over three decades of covering cricket's greatest matches, Gideon Haigh has brought together a collection from this most glorious cricketing contest and its most infamous moments, from colonial times to the present day.
