Australia vs India: 3 Players who won player of the series despite losing in BGT
Australia reclaimed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years as they defeated India by a 3-1 margin in the five-match Test series.
2. Pat Cummins
India travelled to Australia to play a four-match Test series in 2020-2021. They suffered a shambolic defeat in the first Test in Adelaide where they were shot out for 36 in their second innings. However, the Men in Blue bounced back to win two out of the next three Tests to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
While it was a massively disappointing campaign for the hosts, Pat Cummins' performance was one of the rare silver linings. The right-arm seamer bowled with a lot of heart and kept asking tough questions to the Indian batters. He finished as the highest wicket-taker, bagging 21 scalps from four matches at an average of 20.05. Only Nathan Lyon bowled more overs (187) than Cummins (162.1) in the series. Cummins also made some useful contributions with the bat down the order and showed his all-round skills.
