The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is a Test cricket series played between India and Australia. It is played via the International Cricket Council's future tours. The series is named after distinguished former captains, Australia's Allan Border and India's Sunil Gavaskar.
In competition for the trophy since 1996, Indian Sachin Tendulkar has been the most successful batsman, scoring 3262 runs from 65 innings. Indian bowler Anil Kumble is the most successful bowler, taking 111 wickets over 20 matches at an average of 30.32.
