🏏Australia vs India, 5th Test: Sydney, 03 - 07 Jan 2025: Day 3🏏 - Page 10

Deva: "Gill dismissal sums up how this series is going after perth test. How many times we have seen just before lunch/tea break dismissals. Talk about concentration and grit"

On a cloudy morning with plenty of grass on the wicket, Pat Cummins could well be the happy skipper right now having lost the toss. The first hour was full of spice and India had very few answers to an incredible partnership of new ball bowling from Starc and Cummins.

And it's lunch on day 1. The session belongs to Australia, especially with Gill's wicket on the last ball before the break. In the morning, India left out Rohit Sharma and opted to bat first after winning the toss. They did not have a great start as Starc and Boland sent back Rahul and Jaiswal, respectively, inside the first eight overs. Gill and Kohli, the latter with a side-on stance and no bat-tap, showed great restraint. While runs didn't come freely, India looked largely solid... until the last ball before lunch.

The first hour was full of spice and India had very few answers to an incredible partnership of new ball bowling from Starc and Cummins. Rahul got out trying to flick a full ball from Starc and it didn't take long for Cummins to bring on Boland as soon as they saw Gill walk out to the crease. Boland was expected to get his bunny, Gill, but he instead got rid of the big fish Jaiswal.
