“I certainly would have loved to have been there for the presentation. After all it is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and it is about Australia and India,” Gavaskar was quoted as saying by Code Sports.
“I mean, I am here on the ground. To me it should not matter that Australia won when it comes to the presentation. They played better cricket so they won. That’s fine. Just because I am an Indian (I did not present the trophy). I would have been happy to present the trophy with my good friend Allan Border,” the legendary India batter added.

Australia regain Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Meanwhile, Australia completed a famous win in Sydney and retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade. Australia had last won the trophy way back in 2014-25 season when they defeated India 2-0 at home.
Since that win, India and Australia have faced each other four times - twice in India and twice in Australia. India won all the series with a 2-1 margin which also included two historic Test series wins in 2018-19 and 2020-21, both on Australian soil.
