Australia's quest for the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy began with a massive defeat in Perth. However, they quickly recovered, winning three of the next four Tests. It's rare for Australia to come back after losing the first Test of a series.

India's 3-1 defeat in Australia exposed the fragility of their top order, but equally unmissable was how much they rely on pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who gave it all until he broke down in the series finale in Sydney.

The victory also means the hosts booked their spot in a second straight World Test Championship final where it will play the already-qualified South Africa at Lord’s in June.

With 32 wickets in five Tests, Jasprit Bumrah was player of the series against Australia. Unfortunately, one man does not make a team and India lost 3-1 to lose a Test series to the Aussies for the first time in 10 years.
