Experts Left Fuming Over Washington Sundar DRS Row. Jasprit Bumrah's Reaction Goes Viral

The dismissal of Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar on day one of the New Year's Test at the SCG became a topic of debate. It came during India's first innings when Sundar was adjudged caught behind off Australian captain Pat Cummins.

After Jaiswal, Kohli too was caught in the slip cordon off Scott Boland's delivery. Boland bowled a length ball, inducing an edge from Kohli's bat that flew to Steve Smith at second slip. However, Smith scooped it up but the ball seemed to have touched the grass before it was taken by Marnus Labuschagne at gully.

How Decision To 'Rest' Rohit Sharma From 5th Test vs Australia Was Taken: Report Claims Inside Details

Rohit Sharma getting 'rested' from the fifth India vs Australia Test in Sydney has probably started a chain of events in Indian cricket that will take a long time to settle down. At 37, with India's next Test series over five months away, Rohit may have played his last Test match. When Rohit, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja retired from T20Is after the T20 world Cup, it set in motion the transition phase of Indian cricket. Now, after Ravichandran Ashwin's mid-series retirement in Australia and Rohit's 'rest' from the must-win fifth Test, the transition is at its peak.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has informed Rohit Sharma that he is no longer a part of their plans for Test cricket after the ongoing series against Australia, according to a report by the Indian Express.

Amid SCG Test Pitch Debate, Australia Star's 'Jasprit Bumrah' Reminder: "Definitely..."

Debutant all-rounder Beau Webster feels facing ace India pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be an enormous challenge on the SCG pitch which is helping seamers, and the Australian did not place his finger on an ideal first innings score. India were all out for 185 and then Australia lost Usman Khawaja off the last ball of the day to Bumrah to end at 9 for one. “Think there's definitely a method to go about batting on this wicket. But Jasprit is a world class bowler and no doubt he's going to challenge our whole batting group. He's phenomenal with his lengths and lines, it is going to be tough on a wicket that will offer a fair bit for him,” Webster said in the post day one press conference.
