Sport Trophy Cup: Border-Gavaskar Trophy
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is an award trophy for Test cricket series, played between India and Australia. It is named after the cricketing legends Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar, from Australia and India respectively. It is currently played via the International Cricket Council’s future tours program, with varying lengths of time between matches. If the series is drawn, then the country holding the trophy retains it. In the recent times it has provided very competitive cricket from the both sides with results usually either being a narrow win for one of the sides or a closely-fought draw.
The first Border-Gavaskar Trophy match was played in the 1996/97 season, which was won by India. Since then, the trophy has alternated between teams. India spoiled Steve Waugh’s fairwell part with a draw in the 2003-04 series but the Aussies conquered ‘ The last frontier’ during the 2004-2005 series and defeated India 2-1 in India.
In the 2007/08 season, the Border Gavaskar trophy match was played in Australia, with Australia retaining the trophy by winning the first two Tests in Melbourne and Sydney against India winning one as part of the four Test series. In the latest 2008/09 edition, India defeated Australia 2-0 in a four match series in India to regain the trophy.
