BORDER GAVASKER SERIES
India have announced to the world that they are the next champions after beating Australia 2-0. This series will be remembered in history for it’s absorbing cricket. This series also saw the retirement of Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble. MS Dhoni showcases his respect to Sourav by asking him to captain after nine Aussie wickets have gone. This will be regarded as a great gesture by Dhoni. Exactly on the same day eight years back Sourav became the Indian captain. He has also retired as a captain.
India have won by a thumping margin of over 200 runs in the last test in Nagpur. Is it the end of Australian regime in world cricket? Retirement of Adam Gilchrist have caused them a lot. Shane Watson in place of Andrew Symmonds also did not fare well in the series.
Mathew Hayden played well for his 77. Australia could have easily drawn the match by playing defensively but showed how they generally play. Whatever it may be India have finally reclaimed the trophy after 2001. Kudos to team India.
