Yashasvi Jaiswal, the 23-year-old left-handed batter, was one of India's standout performers in BGT. He amassed 391 runs at an average of 43.44, becoming the second-highest in the series. His contributions included a stellar 161 in the Perth Test, which India won by 295 runs. Jaiswal also scored two fifties, but India failed to retain the Trophy for the first time in a decade, after losing the fifth and final Test by six wickets at Sydney on Sunday. On a social media post, Jaiswal expressed his delight in being a part of the tour.

"I learnt a lot in Australia… Unfortunately, the result wasn’t what we had hoped for, but we’ll be back stronger. Your support means everything," Jaiswal captioned the post on Instagram.

On the post's comments section, Australia batter Usman Khawaja applauded Jaiswal by commenting, "Love your work, brother."

Even Michael Vaughan joined in to appreciate Yashasvi Jaiswal, as the veteran appreciated his skills and temperament throughout the Border Gavaskar Trophy series.
