Cricketing Spectacle Of The Highest Order: Ex-players React As BGT Concludes With Aussies' Triumph

By IANS News January 05, 2025 • 11:34 AM View: 738

Sydney Cricket Ground: After Australia secured a 3-1 victory over India to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade, former cricketers shared their views on the contest, describing the series result as a cricketing spectacle of the highest quality.

After claiming a 6-wicket victory over India in the fifth and final Border-Gavaskar Test, Australia also secured their place in the Final at Lord's in June.

The win moved Australia to 63.73 point percentage of possible points, denying India (50.00 per cent of possible points) of the spot in their last Test match of the cycle.
