IND vs AUS 5th Test Schedule, Live Streaming, Date, Pitch Report, Weather India will take on Australia in the fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday. With a thrilling win at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the hosts took the lead 2-1.
While there have been moments for both sides in the Test match coming into the final game India’s batting is a cause of concern. With senior players out of form, youngsters have shouldered the responsibility to help the team get to par scores in the series so far.
Here’s a look at all the details
Predicted XIs
KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant,(wk) Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Dhruv jurel, Prasidh Krishna, Jasprit Bumrah (Captain), Mohammed Siraj
Key India player to watch out for: Though Jasprit Burmah has been the standout bowler, It has been Yashasvi Jaiswal’s runs which kept India in the games. The youngster has been the lone player alongside KL Rahul (at times) who looked like can deal with the venom of the Aussie pacers with gusto. Yet again it will be his runs at the top that will decide how good or bad India will play.
Predicted XI
Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Beau Webster, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland, Mitchell Starc
Key India player to watch out for: Already twice in the series Travis Head has hurt India. His two tons at Adelaide and Brisbane did take the game away from tourists. Though he had a quiet game in the fourth Test if he gets going at Sydney on a fairly good batting track the visitors might once again find themselves in a tricky situation.

India Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Sarfaraz Khan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Prasidh Krishna, Shubman Gill, Devdutt Padikkal, Tanush Kotian, Dhruv Jurel, Harshit Rana
