Reason behind Pat Cummins thanking Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah after 3-1 victory in Border-Gavaskar Trophy

On the 3rd day of the 5th Test between India and Australia, the hosts defeated India by 6 wickets and finally ended their ten-year long wait for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Indian bowlers could not keep the hosts under significant pressure, as the Australian team completed the chase in just 27 overs. After the match ended, Australian skipper Pat Cummins addressed the media and thanked Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah.

After registering an epic victory at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Pat Cummins expressed his thanks to Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah for providing him and his team with such a wonderful experience, even calling this series his most favourite one.

“Unreal. Few of us didn’t have this Trophy. Lived up to all the hype. Just been clear with our plans. We tried to be proactive, Ultimately worked, out. Immensely proud. We weren’t at our best at Perth. We had a lot of fun playing alongside each other. I love playing with these guys. Such a special group. Feel privilged to be part of such a team. Really proud of what we have achieved. Always nice to have a squad. Three debutants in this series fitted in well. They contributed in different times. Pretty happy with how I played. I had a fresh up coming into this series,” said Cummins in the post-match presentation.

“These are the big series you prepare for. Some keen moments when our main stays really stood up. You need to do that to beat a side like India. Our guys put up their hands up. Would go down one of my most favourite Test series. Thanks to Rohit and Jasprit. The fans made the series. Every venue was incredible. MCG was off its head. Three sell outs in three days here at Sydney. Shows why Test cricket is so special and why we love playing it so much. Seen everyone turning out in pink and celebrating an amazing cause is a great way to kick start the year,” he added.

However, Pat Cummins added one significant achievement that was missing from his cabinet. The immense career of Cummins got underway after he led Australia to their first World Test Championship victory in 2023. The Australian captain has now won another major trophy and has built an impressive showcase of trophies with his hands now on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
