Australia fast-bowler Josh Hazlewood has conceded the hosts’ are itching to clinch a Border-Gavaskar Trophy series win at home as that’s the only one box which is left to be ticked off by them. After beating India 2-0 in the 2014/15 series, Australia have endured a drought of winning the prestigious trophy at home. In the absence of Steve Smith and David Warner due to ball-tampering bans, Australia lost to India in the 2018/19 series, followed by sensationally losing the 2020/21 series 2-1, despite bowling the visitors out for 36 in the second innings at Adelaide.
