Gavaskar stood at the edge of the boundary rope when Allan Border handed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to skipper Pat Cummins, as Australia won the series 3-1. It has come to the light that the plan by Cricket Australia was that Border would present the trophy if Australia won and Gavaskar would if India retained it or they drew the Sydney Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI was told just before the series started that it was going to be this situation. If India didn\u2019t win or draw the series, I wouldn\u2019t be required. I am not feeling sad, I am just a little perplexed. It\u2019s the Border-Gavaskar Trophy; both of us should have been there,\u201d Gavaskar was quoted as saying by ABC Sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia wrapped up the fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground inside three days to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time after 2014\/15 series, where they won 2-0 at home. It\u2019s also the third-shortest result Test - the shortest since 1888 - in Sydney, with only 1141 balls played between the two teams.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India began their trophy defence with a 295-run win at Perth but Australia fought back in Adelaide, winning the pink-ball Test by ten wickets to level the series 1-1. At Brisbane, the match ended in draw due to rain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
