IND Vs AUS 5th Test Live: Gavaskar On Bumrah 

Sunil Gavaskar feels India will struggle to defend even 200 in case Jasprit Bumrah is unable to bowl at full throttle on the third day of the fifth and final Test against Australia at SCG.

"Look, if India scores 40 more runs or they put 185 on the board then they have a great chance but it all depends on Jasprit Bumrah's fitness. If Jasprit Bumrah is fit then 145-150 might be enough. But if Bumrah is not fit then a score of around 200 also might not be enough," says Gavaskar on Star Sports
