On Friday, the fifth and final Test between India and Australia kicked off in Sydney. Despite a shaky start, India made a strong recovery by tea time, reaching a score of 107 for 4. The visitors managed to add 50 runs to their total in the second session, with the only casualty being the dismissal of Virat Kohli.
As the players took a break for tea, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja remained at the crease, determined to lead India to a promising score. The decision to bat first proved challenging for India, as they lost KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill in the opening session. This put the pressure on the remaining players to step up and deliver.
In an unexpected move, India's captain Rohit Sharma decided to rest himself for the series finale, leaving Jasprit Bumrah to take his place at the toss. This decision raised some eyebrows, as Sharma has been a key player throughout the series. With the score at 107 for 4, India still has some catching up to do as they trail Australia 1-2 in the series.
At the end of the day, the brief scores stood at 107 for 4 in 50 overs for India. As the players regroup for the next day of play, all eyes will be on Pant and Jadeja to lead India to a strong finish. Will they be able to overcome the challenges and turn the tide in their favor? Only time will tell.
