India vs Australia 5th Test: The condition of Team India in Sydney is bad, but the opinion of experts is completely different. After gaining a lead of 4 runs in the first innings, Team India lost 6 wickets for just 141 runs in the second innings. India’s lead is 145 runs. It seems that this Test is in Australia’s grip, but former cricketers believe that India still has the upper hand.
Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan, who is doing the commentary, believes that the match is currently more in favor of India. According to him the ratio is 55-45. Deepdas Gupta also says that if Team India sets a target of 200 then it will easily win the match because the pitch is suitable for the bowlers. However, if Jasprit Bumrah does not bowl in the second innings, it could make a difference. On this, Irfan says that the Indian team will defend 185 runs with Bumrah and 200 runs without Bumrah.
Bumrah bowled only 10 overs
Jasprit Bumrah bowled only 10 overs during Australia’s innings. He could bowl only one over after lunch. Bumrah went out of the field and then took off his test jersey. He was seen leaving the stadium in practice jersey. During this time it was told that Bumrah had gone for scanning with the support staff. At present there is no update on Bumrah. It would be wrong to say right now that he will not bowl in the second innings.
The match is in favor of Australia
Our belief regarding this is a little different. Looking at Australia’s batting and pitch, it would not be wrong to say that the Kangaroo team will chase the target of up to 250. The biggest run chase on this ground is 287, which was done by Australia.
India has not won since 1978
The last victory of the Indian team on the Sydney ground was in 1978. India has played 13 test matches here so far. During this period, India has won one match and lost five matches. Team India has drawn seven matches in Sydney.
