Australia wins the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a thrilling victory over India in the fifth Test at the SCG. Debutant Beau Webster scores the winning runs, while Jasprit Bumrah's absence due to injury proves costly for India.
Australia has regained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after chasing down 162 runs on day three of the fifth Test against India . Jasprit Bumrah batted but was unable to bowl in the fourth innings after being taken for scans on day two during play. Another famous victory for Australia to beat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014 and they've done it with a dramatic victory here at the SCG.
Debutant Beau Webster hits the winning runs with an authoritative slap down the ground for a boundary and, as Sam Konstas did in his first game, claims a stump for a match he'll never forget. He scored 57 and 39 not out, took his first Test wicket and nabbed two sharp catches in the first innings. Not bad for the 31-year-old. Jasprit Bumrah is disappointed and frustrated but said he could only listen to his body when it told him it was no good. He is disappointed but says it's far from a disaster for India. 'Lots of ifs and buts because the whole series was well fought. It's not like it was totally one sided. Whichever team holds their nerve and sticks together will win.''Being in the game for longer, creating pressure, absorbing pressure and playing to the situation. In Test cricket you have to adapt and these learnings will help us in the future.' He says young stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Kumar Reddy will take lessons from this series as they carry Indian cricket going forward. He's behind only Jasprit Bumrah (32) and Pat Cummins (25) in terms of wickets for the series. 'I probably didn't expect to play too much of a part in the series but I prepared as if I was going to. Just got my body right. Long hours in the gym. Just happy to be here now. India's star bowler and twice-captain in this series, Jasprit Bumrah, carried such a heavy load in this series. He took 32 wickets (India's next best was Mohammed Siraj with 20) and did it at an average of 13.06 and a strike rate of a wicket every 28.37 balls.'I was just getting Bumrah'd,' he tells ABC Spor
