5th Test: Rahul, Jaiswal And Gill Dismissed As India Reach 57/3 Against Australia At Lunch
Sydney Cricket Ground: Top-order batters KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill were taken out cheaply as Australia exerted its control to leave India at 57/3 in 25 overs at lunch on day one of fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday.
On a cloudy morning, India left out captain Rohit Sharma, with Jasprit Bumrah replacing him at the helm. Bumrah elected to bat first on a green pitch after winning the toss, but India failed to capitalise on it as Rahul and Jaiswal were dismissed within the first eight overs. Gill looked good until he had a lapse in concentration and was dismissed at the stroke of lunch.
In the morning, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins got some steep bounce on the green SCG pitch, which has showed signs of being on the slower side. Rahul initially showed good judgement to the balls outside the off-stump, but fell for four off 14 balls after chipping a half-volley on leg-stump to square leg off Starc.
