With just 162 to win for Australia to clinch the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the ongoing series, India is trailing 1-2, with Australia having won 2 matches so far and India winning 1. Currently, Australia is on the verge of winning the last Sydney Test, which initially seemed difficult after they were bowled out for 181 in the first innings. However, they managed to dismiss the Indian camp cheaply, thanks to Scott Boland, who wreaked havoc on India’s batting in both innings and emerged as the standout bowler.
As a result, India is on the brink of losing the BGT series after dominating it for almost a decade. But are you aware of when was the last time India lost a Test series against Australia by a 3-1 margin?
