AUS Vs IND, 5th Test: Scott Boland hand India a huge setback in Sydney Test, as the Jasprit Bumrah-led side are bundled out for 185, before India had a stern reply of their own to spice up things at the end of the day by getting the prized wicket of 'local hero' Usman Khawaja.

India managed to finish the day with a sole wicket, as Australia carry the overnight score of 9/1 on Day 2, with the Saturday now promising immense action after Jasprit Bumrah and Sam Konstas were indulged in a heated exchange during the last over of Day 1.

Well THAT was a spicy finish to Day One at the SCG!

India's Innings

India were off to a sloppy start, as the opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul fell cheaply, and all the onus was now on the out-of-form Virat Kohli to anchor the innings alongside Shubman Gill.

The duo showed immense resilience but on the last ball before lunch, Shubman Gill ended up throwing away his wicket. The build-up work, hence, had to take place all over again in the 2nd session.

Viart Kohli's clumsy innings ended in the very same fashion he's famous for getting out, the same old outside-off delivery. 

Rishabh Pant's impressive show of resilience fianlly broke when Pat Cummins brought back Scott Boland into the attack, as the Indian wicket-keeper batsman departed for a gritty 40.

Scott Boland starred for Australia, as India managed merely 185 at the end of their innings.

Jasprit Bumrah Vs Sam Konstas

The biggest moment of the match came two balls before the conclusion of Day 1's play, as Jasprit Bumrah became a hot-head after Usman Khawaja was delaying to take his guard. This sparked a fuming response not just from the Indian pacer, but also Sam Konstas.

In the end, the Indian legend had the last laugh, and had some words to say to the 19-year-old Australian.
