Sydney. The name of the test series played between India and Australia is Border Gavaskar Trophy. India's great batsman Sunil Gavaskar has given this name to this series in honor of Australian legend Alan Border. After 10 years, Australia's team won it from India. The decisive match of the series was played in Sydney which the Indian team lost in just three days. Cricket Australia did not invite Gavaskar to come on stage to give this trophy to Australia, which won the trophy 3-1. The Indian legend seemed unhappy about this.

Gavaskar has expressed his displeasure over not being called to give the trophy named after him and Allan Border to the Australian team. Australia, which had lost the first match played in Perth, defeated India by six wickets in the fifth and final Test and won the Border Gavaskar Trophy for the first time since 2014. Allan Border gave the trophy to the Australian team, but Gavaskar was not called despite being present on the field at that time.

Gavaskar later told Code Sports, 'I would have been happy to go to the prize distribution ceremony. After all, it is the Border Gavaskar Trophy and it is related to Australia and India. I was on the field. I did not care that the trophy was being given to Australia. They played better cricket and won. Okay. Just because I am an Indian. I would have been happy to present the trophy with my good friend Allan Border.'

India and Australia have been playing for the Border Gavaskar Trophy since 1996-97. This time in the five-match series, the record of viewership at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was broken last week. Since 2014, Australia had to face continuous defeat against India in this series. India captured the Border Gavaskar Trophy by winning the series at home in 2016 and then in Australia in 2018, 2020. The Indian team also won the series played in India in 2022.
