Glenn McGrath said this before the start of the Sydney Test - without Jasprit Bumrah, this series would have been somewhat one-sided.

Today, on the third day of the Sydney Test, McGrath's words kept coming back to haunt him. Bumrah was unable to bowl due to injury. India, who came out to bat after setting a target of 162 runs in the fourth innings, could not give Australia a big challenge. Despite stumbling a bit in the beginning of the run chase, Australia easily reached their destination after losing 4 wickets in the end.

Australia won the Sydney Test by 6 wickets to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years. Pat Cummins' team also qualified for the Test Championship final in June. India, who had won four consecutive Border-Gavaskar Trophies, lost the series 3-1 and were also eliminated from the Test Championship.

Australia, chasing the run chase, lost 3 wickets after scoring 58 runs. Sam Constas, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith - all three were picked up by Prasidh Krishna, who was playing Tests after a year.

With Australia still needing 104 runs to win, India had a good chance. But without Bumrah, the fight was a little less difficult for Usman Khawaja and the Heads. Bumrah has put the Australian batting lineup to the biggest test in every match in this year's Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He took 32 wickets alone before leaving the field midway through yesterday's game, while no other Indian had even 20 wickets.

Boomrai could not return to bowling due to injury. He came out to bat this morning but did not take to the field later in the day.

Krishna and Mohammad Siraj, however, put in a great effort in Bumrah's absence. However, the fourth wicket partnership of Khawaja and Head put Australia in a comfortable position by adding 44 runs. Then Head, along with Webster, took the team to the brink of victory.

However, Webster's contribution to the unbroken partnership of 58 runs is more than that of the batsman. The all-rounder, who scored a fifty in the first innings on his Test debut, remained unbeaten on 39 runs off 34 balls, including the winning run off Washington Sundar for a boundary. Head remains unbeaten on 34 balls.

At the end of the day, the man of the match award went to Scott Boland. The pacer was the main reason why India lost the remaining four wickets after adding 16 runs to their 141 for 6 yesterday. Boland, who came in for Josh Hazlewood for the third time in the series, took 6 wickets for 45 runs.

Bumrah, who took the most wickets in the entire series, was named man of the series. But at the end of the day, the big achievement was for Australia. This is their first Border-Gavaskar Trophy win since the 2014-15 season, a win that also sent Cummins into the final of the Test Championship for the second time in a row.

Australia will face South Africa in the Test Championship final at Lord's in June. This is the end of India's journey, having played in the final last time. They also own the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which they have held for the last four consecutive editions.
