Whatever it takes!!!
Maybe they were worried he was going to go on a massive rant about India batting being Stupid, Stupid, Stupid! 😆
Hahaha.. I didn't mind Pant's shot in the first innings at the MCG but the second innings shot was absolutely terrible and shows what a cluttered mind he had at that point. If you are on a blockathon, just commit to it like Amla, AB and Faf did all those years ago. May well have led to even a win here at the SCG, you never know. If you wanna play a pull shot, just play it along the ground.

The only reason I can think of, is they had planned to have Border hand over the trophy if Australia are lifting it and Gavaskar hand over the trophy if India were lifting it. Which makes no real sense either but I can see an idiotic reasoning of that sort. Otherwise, no idea why you wont have the two people the trophy is named after, hand it over.
It doesn't make much sense if that was their line of thinking.

International Coach
Would Gavaskar have said a thing if he presented it without AB there? Has this happened in the past?
Realistically, rather than him whinging off the cuff, media asked him a leading question on why he was not there.
Practically, it would be awkward having two blokes there handling the trophy together.
