5th Test, Day 1: India 185-all out vs AUS
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah chipped in with crucial runs down to steer India to 185 in the first innings on Day 1 of their 5th Test against Australia in Sydney.
Scott Boland claimed two wickets of as many balls in the final session to help Australia put India under the pump.
Shortly after Tea, Boland tempted Rishabh Pant with a short ball and the India wicketkeeper fell into the trap. He was caught by Pat Cummins at mid-on. On the very next ball, Boland had Nitish Kumar Reddy caught behind off Steve Smith, as India lost their sixth wicket.
Boland wasn't too far from his hat-trick! Just beat Sundar's outside edge. Boland has been the standout bowler for Australia so far, claiming four wickets.
Earlier, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal's reunion at the top of the order didn't last too long with the former falling for a rather soft dismissal to Mitchell Starc in the fifth over of the day. Jaiswal was squared up and sent back by Scott Boland shortly thereafter in the pacer's first over of the match after which he nearly dismissed Virat Kohli the very next ball. Shubman Gill, who had been dropped for the fourth Test, has returned to the squad and walked out into the middle after Rahul was dismissed and he is now facing the heat with Kohli.
The struggling Rohit Sharma is sitting out in this Test, and Jasprit Bumrah is leading India once again. He won the toss and chose to bat first at the Sydney Cricket Ground ahead of the fifth Test against Australia.
