India landed in Australia a couple of months ago proudly holding aloft the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. But when the squad returns home this week, it won’t have to fill out any customs declaration forms as India came out second best in the battle for supremacy between the best cricketing nation in the world versus the richest country in the sport of bat and ball.

Australia skipper Pat Cummins spoke of his pride in his team after they rebounded from losing the opening test against India to clinch the series 3-1 on Sunday and win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade.

Tough decisions might need to be made for India's slumping Test cricket team in desperate need of a reboot after falling away in Australia.
