The Australian team captured the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by defeating Team India in the Sydney Test. The Australian team has defeated the Indian team in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years. This series also ended with the Sydney Test. After winning the match, former Australian player Allan Border handed the trophy to Australian captain Pat Cummins. However, this moment was humiliating for former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar. Sunil Gavaskar also became a witness to these moments. When Cummins was being given the trophy, Gavaskar was also in the field but he was not called for the presentation.

There is a trophy in Gavaskar's name also

Let us tell you that the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is named after former Australian players Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar. This trophy was named after the surnames of both the legends. In such a situation, it was natural for Gavaskar to be on the stage along with Border. He was definitely on the field but was not invited for the presentation. Gavaskar looked very angry with this. He has expressed his displeasure over this incident.

Gavaskar said- I am an Indian, that's why...'

When Allan Border was handing over the trophy to Cummins, Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar stood at the edge of the boundary rope and kept clapping. But this moment was not good for him. Code Sports quoted Gavaskar as saying, 'I would have liked to have been there for the presentation. This is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and it is between Australia and India. I mean, I'm here on the field. In terms of presentation, it doesn't matter to me that Australia wins. They played good cricket so they won. It's okay. Just because I am an Indian I was not allowed to give the trophy. I would have been happy to present the trophy with my good friend Allan Border.

His name is on the trophy, but Sunil Gavaskar was still left off the presentation days after a thrilling Australia-India series.

The Indian great was less than happy. #AUSvIND

Such was Australia's planning

According to the information, Cricket Australia had made a plan based on the results of the Sydney Test. It is said that if India had won the Sydney match, Sunil Gavaskar would have handed over the trophy to Team India. The series would have been a draw and hence the trophy would have remained with India. It was decided by Allan Border to give the trophy to Pat Cummins after Australia won, but it seems that Gavaskar was not aware of this decision.
