🏏Australia vs India, 5th Test: Sydney, 03 - 07 Jan 2025: Day 3🏏 - Page 109

Pat Cummins: Unreal. Few of us didn't have this Trophy. Lived up to all the hype. Just been clear with our plans. We tried to be proactive, Ultimately worked out. Immensely proud. We weren't at our best at Perth. We had a lot of fun playing alongside each other. I love playing with these guys. Such a special group. Feel privileged to be part of such a team. Really proud of what we have achieved. Always nice to have a squad. Three debutants in this series fitted in well. They contributed in different times. Pretty happy with how I played. I had a fresh up coming into this series. These are the big series you prepare for. Some keen moments when our main stays really stood up. You need to do that to beat a side like India. Our guys put their hands up. Would go down one of my most favourite Test series. Thanks to Rohit and Jasprit. The fans made the series. Every venue was incredible. MCG was off its head. Three sell outs in three days here at Sydney. Shows why Test cricket is so special and why we love playing it so much. Seeing everyone turning out in pink and celebrating an amazing cause is a great way to kick start the year.

Our in form player Failed in aus when it matter most was the reason we lost 3/1.Also that home defeat vs NZ 3/0 also very poor performances by our star player.

First time we have 5 defeates in 2024

And we Registerd 1 in 2025.we must need Drastic changes regardless of whom we have to play against

But who are our in form players yaar? Maybe pant and Jaiswal and bumrah.

Kohli has been failing for 5+ years so was never in form. Rohit was not in form also for a while. Gill was not in form. Jadeja perhaps. Siraj was not in form. Others are mostly youngsters.

We haven't had inform players except bumrah, jaiswal and pant for a long time now.

A beaming Cummins walks up to Allan Border to collect the trophy, one that has evaded them for close to ten years. Only four players from this squad have ever held the BGT, so this is a special feeling for them. Cummins takes a selfie to frame this moment. Deivarayan Muthu's report is almost ready. Do have a read in case you missed out on an action today while Alagappan Muthu, Andrew McGlashan will have the post-match copies up soon.

South Africa v Australia for the WTC final at Lord's on June 11. 2/2 as a captain for Pat Cummins. What a champion player! Spare a thought for Jasprit Bumrah though. So heavy was the burden he's carried this series, the body just couldn't take it anymore, And that on a day when his team needed him the most on the spiciest wicket of the tour. That is how it rolls in this game of glorious uncertainties. And we hope you enjoyed every bit of it throughout the series. Until next time...Cheers!!

How can you blame youngsters? Reddy is on his debut and scored in at least 3 matches.

Kohli has been failing for 5+ years now (his 3 100s in 5 years are all on patta when team scored 400+)

Rohit is past his sell by date

Focus should be on them, not youngsters just starting and playing overseas for first time in their life.

I nowhere blamed Reddy

I rather said All Rounders like Jadeja, Sundar and Reddy didn't consistently saved our butt with bat like always that's why we got exposed so well and lost badly.

Ulta I am all for he should get more matches and should be given more chance to bowl.

Not Jadeja

He hasn't performed extraordinary like he always does, but he is not out of form.

He played only 3 tests this series and has scored a 50 too, he even tried playing 100 balls unlike others.

He wasn't utlised well as a bowler this series.

Dude always gets clubbed with non performers even not being that bad, just not being extra ordinary like always and saving India's butt like always

Shivam and Anjum are on cloud nine as they are blessed with a girl child who has brought joy to the Khan and Dube household. Shivam shared a cute animated picture of him, his wife, Anjum, who was holding the baby and his son, Ayaan. He revealed in his post that his daughter's name is Mehwish Shivam Dube.
