Australia Dominate Day One in Decisive Border-Gavaskar Test
India struggle with the bat as Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc shine, while Jasprit Bumrah's late breakthrough keeps the visitors in the contest.
- Australia bowled India out for 185 on a green-tinged SCG pitch, with Scott Boland taking 4-31 and Mitchell Starc adding 3-49.
- India's batting lineup faltered again, with Virat Kohli scoring just 17 and Rishabh Pant top-scoring with a cautious 40 before a late collapse.
- Stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah, replacing the dropped Rohit Sharma, dismissed Usman Khawaja with the final ball of the day to leave Australia at 9-1.
- A controversial third-umpire decision allowed Kohli to survive his first delivery, but inconsistent umpiring decisions continued to frustrate both teams.
- Australia lead the series 2-1 and need only a draw to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, while India must win to retain it and keep their World Test Championship hopes alive.
