Additionally, the Sydney New Year's Test, bolstered by the iconic McGrath Day activities, experienced strong ticket sales, reflecting the fans' eagerness to be part of the annual charitable event.

Brisbane also saw a significant uptick in interest, with numerous fans expressing their excitement to revisit the Gabba, where India famously clinched a historic victory in the 2020-21 series. The strong sales in Brisbane highlight the ongoing popularity and competitive spirit of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The overwhelming response underscores the anticipation and enthusiasm surrounding this series, promising an electrifying atmosphere across all venues.
