Crowds, cracking cricket: Five talking points from Australia v India

Hindustan Times  

Australia completed a six-wicket win in Sydney to clinch the fifth Test against India and the series 3-1 on Sunday. Crowds, cracking cricket: Five talking points from Australia v India AFP Sport looks at five talking points from a thrilling series: Bumper crowds turned up to watch the first-ever five-Test series between the two teams, swelling as the showdown intensified. The emergence of Sam Konstas for Australia and India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy demonstrated that both teams continue to have a conveyor-belt of exciting young talent. A fearless Konstas slammed a whirlwind 60 in his first Test innings in Brisbane, taking on Bumrah with little respect, to position himself as a potential long-term opener for Australia. He has almost certainly played his last tour of Australia and while he scored an unbeaten 100 at the first Test in Perth, he failed to make another big score.
