The Test series between India and Australia is known as the Border Gavaskar Trophy. After the defeat against New Zealand, the careers of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are in danger. Poor performance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy can end their career.

India's legendary player played the last Test of his career in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. We are going to tell you 5 such names. Anil Kumble is the highest wicket-taker for India in Test history. He played his last match for India in 2008. Kumble surprised everyone by retiring in the middle of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. His form was also not good. Sourav Ganguly also played his last Test in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Ganguly had said in 2008 before the series started on home ground that this would be his last series.

Ganguly played the last match of his career in Nagpur. Former Indian team captain Rahul Dravid's last test was also in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. During the 2011-12 Australia tour, Dravid's bat produced only 194 runs in 8 innings of 4 Tests. He retired after this series. VVS Laxman's record against Australia has always been excellent. However, in the 2011-12 series, he was able to score only 155 runs. His average was less than 20.

After this, Laxman did not play any other match for India. Indian team's explosive opener Virender Sehwag was dropped from the team after the first two matches of the 2013 Border Gavaskar Trophy. After that he could never return to the Indian Test team and then retired. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of India's most successful captains, also ended his Test career in the middle of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. After losing the series against Australia in 2014–15, Dhoni announced his retirement midway.
