India at the SCG: Records, highest run-scorers and wicket-takers at venue of Ashwin and Vihari's great resistance
Hindustan TimesThe Sydney Cricket Ground hosts the fifth and final Test between India and Australia that will decide which team gets the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. One of the oldest cricket venues in the world, the Sydney Cricket Ground first hosted a Test match all the way back in February 1882, just the sixth Test match to ever be played overall. The spin trio of BS Chandrashekhar, Erapalli Prasanna and captain Bishan Singh Bedi shone brightest in the match with Australia being all out for 131 in their first innings and 263 in their second. In the next SCG Test between the two sides though, which was also the last one thus far, Australia had the upper hand for most of it. Indian records at the SCG Sachin Tendulkar is India's highest run scorer in Tests at the SCG, having made 785 runs in just nine innings at a scarcely believable average of 157.00 with three centuries and two half-centuries.
