Virat Kohli Repeats Mistake as India Struggles in Final Test Against Australia

India's batting woes continued in the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, with the team failing to rectify its earlier mistakes. Playing in Sydney, India, needing a win to level the series, faced a severe setback by losing four wickets for just 72 runs.

Winning the toss, India chose to bat but stumbled early in their innings. KL Rahul, scoring just 4 runs, was caught by Sam Constas off Mitchell Starc's bowling, leaving the team at 11/1. Subsequent batters also struggled to stabilize the innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal managed 10 runs, and Shubman Gill contributed 20 before both were dismissed, adding to India's troubles.

Virat Kohli, under immense scrutiny throughout the series, failed again in a manner reminiscent of his dismissal in the fourth Test. Despite efforts to settle in, he fell for 17 runs off 69 balls, caught by Webster at third slip off Scott Boland's bowling.

Rishabh Pant (10) and Ravindra Jadeja (3) are currently at the crease, with India precariously placed at 76/4. Among the Australian bowlers, Scott Boland has claimed two wickets, while Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon have taken one wicket each.

India faces an uphill battle to salvage the match and the series, with the Australian bowlers firmly in control.
