Ind vs Aus 5th Test: Australia Wins BGT, Outplays India By 6 Wickets

The likes of Beaue Webster (39*) and Travis Head (34*) helped Australia win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade as they sealed the series 3-1. The Indian team on the third day stepped out on the field without the services of Jasprit Bumrah with a ball and as a result, things looked difficult for them. On the back of this loss, the Indian team was knocked out of the World Test Championship Final race.

Team India bowlers conceded some runs once the match resumed after the lunch break. India’s star pacer Mohammed Siraj scalped the wicket of Usman Khawaja to pull India back in the game. Prasidh Krishna also bowled well, claiming three wickets in his first spell to keep India alive in the game.
