Australia took the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 with a convincing 3-1 victory over the visitors. India-Australia series has always been a cinema for the eyes, not only for cricket but also for the intensity that these powerhouses of cricket hold. We experienced various encounters between Indian players and Australians. The one that caught eyes of the spectators was the encountor between Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas when the latter pushed him with the shoulder. To this Aussie captain Pat Cummins said,

Pressure on Selectors
This statement clearly symbolizes how the Kangaroos glorify the sledging culture. It was seen on numerous ocassions the encounters of the two sides.

Experts are urging India to build a stronger Test side with the new World Test Championship cycle starting in June. Ranji participation by the duo may be helpful, but the schedule is overcrowded and does not allow for too much domestic cricket.

Jasprit Bumrah was declared as ‘Man of The Series’ by claiming 32 wickets. Bumrah was also seen leaving the ground during the second day of the Sydney test.
