"Could Be The Last Time...": Australia Great On Virat Kohli's Dismissal To Scott Boland

Australian pacer Scott Boland wrecked havoc on India's top order as he dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli to send the visitors into a tailspin before Rishabh Pant steadied the innings with his fantastic knock of 61 in the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavskar Trophy at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Kohli, who was once again caught flirting with the ball outside the off stump and nicked it behind the stumps, was dismissed by Boland for the fourth time in the series and former Aussie batsman Mark Waugh believes the Tansmanian quick has the Indian great mesmerised.

"There Was No Need": Australia Great Slams Sam Konstas Over Jasprit Bumrah Incident

Australia batter Sam Konstas was involved in a heated incident with India stand-in captain and pacer Jasprit Bumrah on Day 1 of the 5th Test in Sydney on Friday. For the unversed, Bumrah was not happy with Usman Khawaja taking extra time to take his guard. However, Konstas decided to confront Bumrah. The incident only riled Bumrah up as he dismissed Khawaja off the final ball of the day's play, before clashing with Konstas, who was at the non-striker's end. Former Australia batter Mark Waugh has slammed Konstas for playing his part in riling up Bumrah, urging the youngster to mind his business.

"Comes Back To Bite...": Australia Great's Dig At Sam Konstas Over Jasprit Bumrah 'Theatrics'

Young Australia opener Sam Konstas made a remarkable start to his Test career, smashing a fifty on debut in the first innings of the 4th Test against India in Melbourne. He hit a quickfire 60 off just 65 balls, looking comfortable while taking on the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. He became a fan favourite at the MCG after clashing with star India batter Virat Kohli, who had shoulder barged him during his knock in the first innings. He was also seen making gestures after Kohli and Bumrah were dismissed in the second innings.

CSK Great Roasted By Ex-Australia Star For Defending Rishabh Pant's Shot Selection: "Assistant..."

Former Australia batter Mark Waugh and Mike Hussey had contrasting takes on India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant's shot selection, which led to his dismissal on Day 3 of the ongoing Boxing-Day Test. Pant's innings of 28 ended when he over-balanced while attempting a ramp shot off Scott Boland's delivery, only to be caught by Nathan Lyon at third man. It was a big moment in the match as Pant and Ravindra Jadeja had put on a decent partnership following India's late collapse on Day 2.

Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal Would Be Happy Starting On Day 5. Experts Explain Why

Australia extended their lead over India in the second innings of the ongoing 4th Test in Melbourne. At the close of play on Day 4, the hosts were ahead by 333 runs, with Nathan Lyon (41*) and Scott Boland (10*) unbeaten. The pair added an unbeaten 55 runs for the 10th wicket to take Australia's lead over 300, setting up on what promises to be an exciting final day of the match on Monday. With all three results likely on Day 5, India will have to chase a record total at the MCG to win the match.

Rohit Sharma's Career "Coming To An End"? 'Sad State Of India Captain' Bombshell Dropped As Terrible Run Continues

Rohit Sharma is going through a tought time in cricket. While his captaincy during India's ongoing Test series against Australia has been receiving criticism, his batting has not been good either. He missed the first Test due to personal reasons and joined the team from the second game. Rohit scored 3 and 6 in Adelaide before disappointing with another low score, 10, in the next game in Brisbane. Come Melbourne and Rohit's poor form continued here as well. He was dismissed for 3 runs off 5 balls. What looked poorer was the manner in which he got out. It was a harmless short of length ball outside off stump from Pat Cummins, and Rohit, in an attempt to pull it, got a top edge only to give an easy catch to Scott Boland close to the mid-on region.

Do Feel For Nathan McSweeney, But Totally Understand Why Australia Dropped Him, Says Michael Vaughan

Former England captain Michael Vaughan said he does feel sad for Nathan McSweeney, who was dropped from Australia's squad for the remaining two Tests against India, while acknowledging the rationale behind the decision made by the visitors'. McSweeney opened in the first three Tests against India but made just 72 runs at an average of 14.40, despite not having opened previously in first-class cricket. On Friday, the Australian selectors dropped McSweeney to draft in teenage opener Sam Konstas. "I feel for Nathan, I think he'll be back - but I totally understand why Australia made this move. I feel for the kid, because of all the people that I've seen come into Test cricket over the last 10 years, I don't think anyone's been given a harder challenge.
