Virat Kohli’s luck suddenly shines
The ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between India and Australia is about to conclude. From January 3, both the teams are face to face for the fifth and final match in Sydney. The Indian team management made a big decision by excluding regular captain Rohit Sharma from the playing XI. In his absence, the reins of the team have been given to Jasprit Bumrah. However, Virat Kohli was suddenly made the captain during Australia’s first innings on the second day of the match.
Got captaincy in the middle of the match
After winning the toss and batting first, the Indian team’s innings was reduced to 185 runs. After this, when the team came to bowl, the bowlers showed their magic and put pressure on the Kangaroo team. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah had to leave the team and leave the field due to being unfit. It is being speculated that due to injury, he has gone for a scan with the medical team. Virat Kohli has been playing the role of captain since he went out in the second session.
Australia’s innings ended at 181
It is worth noting that after Virat Kohli took over the captaincy, the Indian team wrapped up Australia’s innings for 185 runs in the second session itself. During this, Nitish Kumar Reddy took two wickets. He sent Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc to the pavilion. Apart from this, Prasidh Krishna took the wickets of Alex Carey and Beau Webster. While Mohammad Siraj took the wicket of Scott Bland. However, before this Jasprit Bumrah had sent Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne to the pavilion. Then Mohammad Siraj dismissed Sam Constas and Travis Head. Steve Smith’s wicket went to Prasidh Krishna.
