The final stop for Team India and Australia in this pulsating five-Test series will be the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) as the coveted Border-Gavaskar Trophy still remain up for grabs for the two teams. However, with chances of rain in the final two days in Sydney, Australia remain in pole position to regain the trophy.
India have been run ragged in the last three Tests, having won the series-opener in Perth by 295 runs. Australia won the pink-ball Test at the Adelaide Oval and dominated at the Gabba in Brisbane, putting themselves in a pole position to win. The see-saw Boxing Day Test saw the hosts come out on top in the final session on day five.
Meanwhile, Team India's alleged tense dressing room atmosphere has left a tumultuous environment ahead of the 5th Test. With reports doing rounds that Rohit Sharma is set to be rested for the final Test, Jasprit Bumrah will take back the captaincy duties, having led the tourists in the opening game. They will be desperate for another victory and keep Australia winless against them for the third time in an away series.
