While up against a struggling Indian batting unit, Cummins kept the pressure on the top order but found his reward in the tail end.

Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli once again disappointed his fans as he was dismissed for just 17 on Day 1 of the fifth Test match against Australia in Sydney on Friday. However, things could have been worse as Kohli survived a massive scare on the very first ball of his innings. With India struggling at 17/2, Kohli walked out to bat but he was off to the worst possible start. He edged an outside off-stump delivery to the second slip fielder Steve Smith. The catch was completed by the gully fielder after Smith scooped it up but the review ended with the TV umpire ruling that the ball actually touched the ground. Virat's wife Anushka Sharma was in attendance and her reaction to the incident has gone viral.
