IND vs AUS 5th Test Day 1 LIVE SCORE: Indian cricket team and Australian teams are clashing today at Sydney Cricket Ground in the fifth and last test match of the 5-match series. This match is very important for the Indian team. Team India can keep alive its hopes of reaching the final of the World Test Championship by winning this match. India lost by 84 runs in the fourth test match played in Melbourne. After the news of conflict in the Indian team, the players are coming on the field for the first time. Head coach Gautam Gambhir says that Team India’s dressing room talks should be limited to that only. Gambhir is upset after the dressing room news was leaked. There is news of captain Rohit being out of this test match. Rohit has decided to keep himself away from the Sydney Test, which has been accepted by the head coach and team management. India won the toss and decided to bat first. Jasprit Bumrah is captaining India in this test.
The Indian cricket team has played 13 test matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground. India has won only 1 of these matches. In this respect, India’s record here will be considered bad. But by playing 7 draws in 13 matches, India has also proved that it is not easy to defeat them in Sydney. The Indian team will try to convert the series of draws into a win and retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
India was last defeated by Australia on 6 January 2012 at Sydney ground. After this, both the teams have clashed here in 2015, 2019 and 2021, but no one got the victory. This figure must be troubling Australia more than India, which has won 61 out of 112 Test matches in Sydney. The Indian team has lost 5 out of 13 matches here. That means Team India has lost 38.46 percent of its matches here, which is the lowest after Australia (25.00%).
