India vs Australia 5th Test highlights: Aussies beat India by 6 wickets, clinch series 3-1

Australia secured the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in 10 years, wrapping up the Test series in emphatic fashion. Players from both sides gathered at the centre to exchange congratulatory handshakes, with Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah also seen in the mix despite injury concerns.

 

Bumrah's absence a turning point 

India's hopes rested on their skipper with the ball heading into the day’s play, but Bumrah’s injury ruled him out, a setback that proved decisive. Australia wasted no time in cleaning up India’s innings and, despite losing three wickets before lunch, always held the upper hand.

 

Controlled approach seals the game

  Travis Head and Beau Webster displayed remarkable composure, resisting any temptation to slog their way to victory. Their measured approach sent a clear message—Australia were focused on making a statement, not succumbing to reckless play under the guise of intent.

 

SCG produces a rare spectacle 

In an unexpected twist, the Sydney Cricket Ground produced the spiciest track of the series, resulting in a Test match that concluded in just two and a half days—a rarity in modern cricket.

 

A historic achievement

  With this win, Australia joins an elite list of teams to have simultaneously held series titles against all nine opponents, excluding Afghanistan and Ireland. This remarkable feat has previously been achieved by:

 

• Australia: November 2004 – September 2005, January 2007 – January 2009
• South Africa: December 2012 – March 2014
• India: March 2017 – January 2018, December 2021 – January 2022
• Australia: January 2025 – ongoing
