India drop Rohit Sharma but batters struggle again in Australia

Al Jazeera  

Australia gain the early advantage in Sydney in the World Test Championship deciding fifth Test against India. India dropped skipper Rohit Sharma but their batting woes continued as they were dismissed for 185 on the opening day of the crucial fifth and final Test against Australia in Sydney. Boland precipitated the end of India’s laboured innings early in the final session when he had Rishabh Pant caught at mid-on for 40 and dismissed Melbourne centurion Nitish Kumar Reddy off consecutive balls. Washington Sundar was beaten by Boland’s hat-trick ball without making contact with it but Ravindra Jadeja was soon trapped plumb in front by Mitchell Starc for 26 to leave India reeling on 134-7. “There’s lot of help for the bowler, and hopefully we can capitalise on that.” India could still retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a victory but looked on the back foot from the moment Bumrah won the toss and sent his team into bat.
