Michael Vaughan Feels Team India Was "Blown Away" After Perth Test At Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan shared his insight on the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between Australia and India, and said that 'Men in Blue' were "blown away" after their triumph at the Perth Test. India, who began the series with a historic win in Perth, failed to sustain their momentum and lost the series by 1-3. This marked Australia's first Border-Gavaskar Trophy triumph in a decade, their last win came in 2014-15. Kohli, one of India's senior players, was among the biggest disappointments, managing just 190 runs at an average of 23.75 in eight innings, with Scott Boland dismissing him four times.

Toughest SCG Pitch, Got Chainsawed: Steve Smith On Missing 10,000 Runs Milestone

Veteran Australian batter Steve Smith has said he had never encountered a wicket like the one at the SCG, after falling one run short of reaching 10,000 career runs in the five-match Test series against India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In Australia's first innings of the fifth Test here, Smith edged a delivery to slip just five runs shy of the landmark. In the second innings, Prasidh Krishna's delivery rose sharply from short of a length and Smith advanced down the pitch, only to fend it into the gully to be dismissed on 9999 Test runs. "I got chainsawed didn't I! Pretty nasty delivery actually; back of a length, I thought 'oh, there's one to punch through point' and it just took off," the former Australian captain told 'Triple M' after their six-wicket win on Sunday that gave them the trophy after a decade.
