Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar opened up that the organisers had told him that if Australia won the series, he would not be needed for the presentation ceremony of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After a five-match series named after the brilliant duo of Sunil Gavaskar and Allan Border, Australia came out victorious. Allan then came up to stage at the presentation ceremony and gave the trophy to Pat Cummins’ squad.
After the series came to an end, Gavaskar expressed his feelings and claimed that he was not invited to handle the trophy just because he is Indian. He even said that it would have been lovely if he had been given the opportunity to present the award with his friend Allan Border.
“I certainly would have loved to have been there for the presentation. After all, it is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and it is about Australia and India,” Gavaskar was quoted by Code Sports.
“I mean, I am here on the ground. To me, it should not matter that Australia won when it comes to the presentation. They played better cricket so they won. That’s fine. Just because I am an Indian (I did not present the trophy). I would have been happy to present the trophy with my good friend Allan Border,” he added.
Gavaskar had said that the information of him not being needed in case if Australia won or the series came to a draw was given to him before the series started. However, since the series is named after both Gavaskar and Border, he was confused about this decision.
