India's chances of defending a small 162-run target on a challenging Sydney wicket were hurt by Jasprit Bumrah's absence, as he was unable to bowl on the third day. Taking advantage of this, Australia comfortably chased down the target in just 27 overs, reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years.


"It was really frustrating but sometimes you have to respect your body, can't fight it. Disappointing, probably missed out on the spiciest wicket of the series," Bumrah said during the post-match presentation.
