Australia breaks 10 year hiatus, reclaims Border-Gavaskar Trophy following 6-wicket triumph against India
PTC News Desk: After breaking a 10 year gap, Australia made a massive comeback while reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy defeating India at the Sydney Cricket Ground and thumping its authority in the fierce rivalry with a 3-1 series win.
For India, the three days were a mix of seeing dreams and then watching them crumble right in front of their eyes. The six-wicket defeat ended India's hopes of reaching the World Test Championship final for the third successive time.
The victory in Perth became a distant memory when India crumbled in the opening hour of Day 3. Australia captain Pat Cummins forced out an edge from Ravindra Jadeja, who tried to cover his line but failed miserably. The Australian skipper nipped one back in to clean up Washington Sundar for 12(43).
Brief Scores: India: 185 & 157 (Rishabh Pant 61, Yashasvi Jaiswal 22, Scott Boland 6/45) vs Australia 181 & 162/4 (Travis Head 34*, Beau Webster 39*; Prasidh Krishna 3-65).
