SYDNEY :Australia held their nerve to chase down their victory target of 162 after lunch on the third day of the fifth test on Sunday, beating India by six wickets for a 3-1 series win and reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade.
Back as captain in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli led his troops in style as India claimed three quick wickets on Day 3 of the 5th Test against Australia in Sydney. With Bumrah out injured and Rohit rested for the match, the onus was on Kohli to marshall the Indian players on the field on Sunday. Kohli, a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, is known for his quirky interactions with fans on the ground. The case was no different in Sydney where Virat shut down a section of fans with epic 'sandpaper' banter.
India's overall lead is not even close to the 200-run mark but pacer Prasidh Krishna says the unpredictable nature of the SCG track will keep them in the hunt since batting won't be easy for Australia in the fourth innings because of the variable bounce. India ended the second day at 141 for six for an overall lead of 145. A win in the Sydney Test will ensure that India retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy. "It is getting difficult in some areas. The ball is keeping low sometimes but there is enough bounce for us to be in the game and look for those edges. Try and beat them on either side of the bat," Prasidh said during the media interaction.
The off-side demons in Test cricket have shown no intent of their will to stop haunting Virat Kohli. For probably the 6th time this series, Kohli gave in to his instincts of playing the outside-off delivery to pace bowlers, as he fell to an in-form Scott Boland on Day 1 of the 5th Test of the series against Australia in Sydney. Following his dismissal in the first innings of the Sydney Test, Kohli incurred another low score in the series, with his scores in the series reading 5, 100*, 7, 11, 3, 36, 5, and now 17.

SYDNEY :India captain Jasprit Bumrah was absent after lunch on the second day of the fifth test on Saturday, but his team mates still ripped through the Australia batting order to dismiss the hosts for 181 at tea.
Amidst plenty of discussion on whether Virat Kohli was not out or not on day one of fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, former Australia captain said he was not convinced by the not-out decision, adding that in his view, Steve Smith took a clear catch. In the first session, shortly after Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed by Scott Boland, the seamer almost got his second wicket on the trot when he found Kohli's outside edge, and Smith dived across to his right at second slip to take the catch. But it seemed like Smith had got his fingers underneath the ball and flicked the grass on the ground while scooping the ball to Marnus Labuschagne at gully, something which TV umpire Joel Wilson spotted while ruling Kohli not out after seeing various camera angles.
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.
