"We All Thought It Was Out": Beau Webster Contemplates Virat Kohli's Ruled Out Catch In 5th Australia Test
Debutant Beau Webster felt Australia were "unfortunate" to be on the opposite side of the decision which saw the third umpire ruling out Steven Smith's attempted catch for India stalwart Virat Kohli's dismissal on the opening day of the Sydney Test.

On the first ball that came Virat's way, he edged it away to Scott Boland, with Smith dived, taking a low catch at the slip.
"Probably Seen Rohit Sharma For Last Time...": Sunil Gavaskar Feels It's Game Over For India Star In Tests
Game over for Rohit Sharma in Tests? Well, Sunil Gavaskar thinks so. The official word from the India camp is that Rohit 'opted to rest' from the India vs Australia 5th Test in Sydney. But, 'resting' or 'rested' in Indian cricket often leaves the room for many interpretation. Rohit Sharma was not having a great run since landing in Australia. In his five innings in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Rohit score only 31 runs. After missing the first Test in Perth due to personal reasons, Rohit batted in the middle order in the second and third Tests. He returned to opening in the fourth Test but failed to score big.
"Waste Some Time...": Rishabh Pant's Brutally Honest Verdict On Jasprit Bumrah-Sam Konstas Spat
Indian cricket team wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant weighed in on to the heated exchange between Jasprit Bumrah and Australian opener Sam Konstas on Day 1 of the fifth Test match in Sydney. In the final moments of the day, both cricketers got embroiled in a heated argument but it was the India pacer who had the last laugh as he dismissed Usman Khawaja on the very next delivery. Pant said that he did not hear what Konstas exactly said to Bumrah but commented that the Australia youngster wanted to waste time in order to prevent India from bowling another over on Day 1 of the must-win encounter.
Horrific Collision Rocks Big Bash League. Australia Star Stretchered Off - Video
A nasty collision between Australian cricketers Daniel Sams and Cameron Bancroft took place during Sydney Thunder's Big Bash League (BBL) match against Perth Scorchers at Optus Stadium in Perth on Friday. The collision was so severe that both the players had to be hospitalised. While one of them went off the ground suffering a bleeding nose, the other one was stretchered off after losing his consciousness. The incident took place in the 16th over of the Scorchers' innings. Cooper Connolly mistimed a fuller ball around the mid-wicket region and that is where Sams and Bancroft ran to take the catch. While both of them converged for the catch, they failed to notice each other and this led to a severe collision.

Hardik Pandya To Lead India In Champions Trophy? Report Makes Shocking Claim
India skipper Rohit Sharma's decision to skip the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney raised many questions on his future in the longest format. In the final match of the five-match series, star Jasprit Bumrah was named as the stand-in skipper of India. Earlier in the opening Test in Perth, India won by 10 wickets under the captaincy of Bumrah. In the ongoing series, Rohit struggled to get runs as he scored only 31 runs in five innings. As there no certainty regarding his future in Tests, a new report also suggested Rohit's captaincy snub from the upcoming Champions Trophy.
