Cricket Australia conceded it was the wrong decision and that both Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar should have handed the trophy

Sunil Gavaskar's exclusion from the trophy presentation ceremony has raised eyebrows, with many questioning whether racism played a role in the decision.

The plan by Cricket Australia was that Allan Border would present the trophy if Australia won and Gavaskar would if India retained it.

Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar insists he is “not feeling sad”, but “perplexed”, after not being invited on stage to present the trophy named after him to Australian captain Pat Cummins. Cricket Australia quickly conceded they made an error, but not before Gavaskar expressed his frustrations.

Cricket Australia broke its silence on legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar's displeasure at not being invited to present the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has expressed disappointment over not being invited to present the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the conclusion of the Sydney Test between Australia and India. The trophy was instead presented by the legendary Allan Border to Australia's Test skipper Pat Cummins.

Allan Border has unwittingly been caught in controversy over Cricket Australia 's mistake to snub Sunil Gavaskar during the trophy presentation at the SCG on Sunday. Border was asked to present the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to Pat Cummins after Australia secured a 3-1 series victory over India with a six-wicket win in the fifth Test.
