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).

"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.

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.

"Booted Him Out": Ex-Australia Star On Shubman Gill's Axing From India's Playing XI

Australia pacer Mitchell Starc was at his absolute best during India's first innings in the ongoing second Test in Adelaide. Starc registered his career-best figures of 6/48 as Australia bowled India out for 180 after the visitors had opted to bat. According to former Australia batter Mark Waugh, Starc bowled the "ball of the century" when he dismissed Ravichandran Ashwin.

Behind Virat Kohli's Perth Test Tactic, England Great's Justification: "Had To Do..."

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has defended star India batter Virat Kohli after his flop show with the bat in the 1st innings of the Perth Test against Australia. Kohli managed just five runs before fending off a climbing Josh Hazlewood delivery to Usman Khawaja at slip.

The former India captain hasn't scored a century since the West Indies tour last year.
