Gavaskar Left Perplexed Over Omission From Trophy Ceremony In Sydney
Sydney Cricket Ground: Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar said he was left perplexed over his omission from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series ceremony after the fifth Test concluded at the Sydney Cricket Ground in a six-wicket win for Australia.
Gavaskar stood at the edge of the boundary rope when Allan Border handed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to skipper Pat Cummins, as Australia won the series 3-1. It has come to the light that the plan by Cricket Australia was that Border would present the trophy if Australia won and Gavaskar would if India retained it or they drew the Sydney Test.
“I was told just before the series started that it was going to be this situation. If India didn’t win or draw the series, I wouldn’t be required. I am not feeling sad, I am just a little perplexed. It’s the Border-Gavaskar Trophy; both of us should have been there,” Gavaskar was quoted as saying by ABC Sport.
