India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 1-3, giving the Australian team a chance to lift the trophy after 10 years. for the Indian cricket team 2024-25 The Border-Gavaskar Trophy was forgettable in many ways. In the five-match Test series, the Indian team was seen on the backfoot in every match since the first Test match. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, there was no other player in the team who performed with full strength in all the matches.

Although Australia won the series 3-1, the Player of the Match award was not given to any Australian but to Jasprit Bumrah. An important statistic of this series is that Australian captain Pat Cummins and fast bowler Mitchell Starc together scored more runs than India’s legendary batsmen Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma.

Rohit Sharma did not play in two Test matches of this series, while Cummins and Starc were involved in all five Tests. Despite this, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma together could not score as many runs as Cummins and Starc, which shows their poor form in this series.

Virat Kohli definitely scored a not out century in the second innings of the first Test of the series, but after that his bat remained silent in the entire series. At the same time, Rohit Sharma’s situation was even worse. Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc together scored a total of 256 runs in this trophy, while Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma together scored only 221 runs, which included Kohli’s century. These figures tell the reality of the performance of the Indian team.
