AUS vs IND, 5th Test: Opportunity for redemption as India looks to flip the script in Sydney

The Hindu  

A new year with its tidings of hope is the overwhelming theme whenever January chimes in. It is no different this time around, especially for India, as it faces the challenge of altering the script in the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. Trailing 1-2, the fifth and final Test commencing at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday, presents India with an opportunity for redemption. If India does manage to defeat Australia and draw level at 2-2, by virtue of being the defending champion, the visitors would retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. KL Rahul’s runs, Nitish Kumar’s consistency, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s promise and the lower-order’s fire-fighting have often rescued India.
