During the fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India’s bowlers displayed an outstanding performance in seam and swing, knocking Australia for a mere 181 in their first innings. This was a spectacular change of events at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
Beau Webster, who made his debut, put up a challenge with a solid 57, the innings’ best score. Determination highlighted his innings as he pounced on the odd poor ball by playing the ball late and close to his body. Australia had hope after Webster’s half-century, but it collapsed after Prasidh Krishna fired him.
The Australian middle order found it difficult to adjust to the difficult circumstances following Webster’s departure. Steve Smith, who is frequently a mainstay in Australian cricket, was dismissed by Prasidh Krishna, who bowled with remarkable bounce and control, after he could muster a decent 33 runs.
Bumrah’s victory over Marnus Labuschagne, who was dismissed early for just two runs, was a sign of the amount of pressure the Indian bowlers were applying. The same bowler undid Travis Head, who was noted for his aggressive style, for just four runs.
There was hardly much resistance from the tail end. The rest of the batting order was unable to adjust to the seam and swing after Krishna bowled Alex Carey for 21 runs. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Scott Boland were all easily defeated, and Siraj and Krishna split the prizes.
Australia’s innings ended at 181 as Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon, the final combination, struck a few boundaries in a brief partnership. However, it was short-lived as Hazlewood was bowled off by Siraj

With a slim four-run lead at the start of their second innings, India sought to impose pressure on Australia by generating a sizable total. The Australian speed attack, which had already heated up from the morning session, had to contend with by openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul.
Australia’s pace leader, Mitchell Starc, delivered a challenging spell in the opening over, which was eventful. The Australian bowlers swiftly altered their lengths, making it tough for the Indian openers to score runs at will. Jaiswal, with intent, got a boundary off a short and wide delivery.
Following his four-wicket haul in the first innings, Scott Boland struck twice in quick succession, setting up the breakthrough early on after a decent start from India. The delivery that clipped the off stump with a strong nip back bowled Rahul for 13. India was at a dangerous 47/2 after Yashasvi Jaiswal was knocked out for 22 runs shortly after.
Virat Kohli Stepped In but didn`t survive too long as he went out cheaply again while playing same kind of shot he played in last few innings.
