Australian media reacts to Border-Gavaskar Trophy win: 'India would have been better if heroes stayed home'

Firstpost  

Australian media hailed their men’s cricket team for clinching the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade, but were critical of India’s performance in the series. “Australia responded in emphatic and clinical fashion, going on to win three of the next four matches and consigning India to back-to-back series defeats for the first time since 2014,” wrote the newspaper, noting how Australia went onto win the series after going 0-1 down. “Virat Kohli then elected to fire up the crowd with a bizarre sandpaper gesture, the act raised eyebrows but it didn’t do anything to stop the Aussies,” the website said. The Weekend Australian said that while Australia have some “cult heroes” to thank for their victory, India could have been better had some of their heroes stayed back home.
