The Border Gavaskar Trophy could be the last series for Indian off-spinner veteran R Ashwin. The reason for this is also his age. Let us tell you that he is currently 37 years old and is in the last phase of his career. After reaching the WTC final, there is every possibility that he will announce his retirement. If we look at his career, he has taken 536 wickets in 105 Test matches. Along with this, he has scored more than 3,400 runs.
Rohit Sharma
Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 can also be the last for Indian captain Rohit Sharma. The reason for this is also his age. Let us tell you that at present he is only 37 years old and he is at the last stage of his career. Apart from this, the graph of his performance in the last few Test matches has also decreased.
If the situation remains the same, he can also announce retirement after BGT. If we talk about his career, Rohit Sharma has played 60 Test matches so far, in which he has scored 4148 runs in 103 innings at an average of 44.60. He has 12 centuries and 17 half-centuries to his name in Tests.

Australia’s left-arm bowler Mitchell Starc has won many matches for the Kangaroo team. He has also made many great records for Australia in his career. But now this may be the last Border Gavaskar Trophy of his career. There is a possibility that he too may say goodbye to his career after this series.
This is not just speculation. Rather, he himself said that the Test series against India after IPL 2024 is the last series of his career. He has played 89 matches in his career and has also taken 358 wickets at an economy of 3.
Usman Khawaja
Australia’s left-handed opening batsman Usman Khawaja’s Border Gavaskar Trophy series may also be the last. This is being said considering his age. Currently he is 37 years old and by the next cycle he will be 38 years old. Apart from age, his performance has also not been anything special so far. He has been a flop in both innings of the Test being played in Perth. In such a situation, he can also retire after BGT. If we talk about his career, he has played 74 matches and scored a total of 5463 runs at an average of 44. 15 centuries have also come from his bat.
