Australia Wins Border-Gavaskar Trophy with 3-1 Victory

Australia reclaimed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a 3-1 series victory over India, securing their place in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against South Africa. Australia's decisive six-wicket win at the Sydney Cricket Ground marked their first series win over India in a decade. The absence of India's key bowler Jasprit Bumrah, due to a back injury, significantly impacted India's performance, as they struggled to defend a modest target of 162. Bumrah was the leading wicket-taker for India in the series, but his inability to bowl in the final innings left a gap in their attack. Australia's victory was highlighted by strong performances from Usman Khawaja, Travis Head, and Beau Webster on a challenging pitch. Despite India's initial win in Perth, Australia bounced back with victories in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney, showcasing their resilience and determination to dominate the series.
