On what he called the “spiciest” pitch of the series, Bumrah was forced off the field after suffering a back spasm on Day 2. His absence in the second innings left India without their premier pacer as they attempted to defend a 162-run target, which Australia chased down with six wickets remaining.

For the second consecutive day, Australian cricketer Steve Smith narrowly missed out on reaching 10,000 Test runs. Falling short by five runs on Saturday and just one run on Sunday, Smith became only the second player after Mahela Jayawardene to be dismissed on 9999 runs.

Steve Smith falls to Prasidh Krishna, leaving the Australian batter one short of reaching 10,000 career Test runs.

Virat Kohli is an entertainer when it comes to his relation with the crowds. The former India captain once again at his animated best when Kohli mocked the Australian crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday with a ‘Sandpapergate’ gesture on Day 3 of the fifth Test.
