India vs Australia, 5th Test: How to watch the live streaming of IND vs AUS on TV and online

With national pride on the line, India is gearing up to face off against Australia in the decisive fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney on Friday. Holding a 2-1 lead, the Aussies are hungry to reclaim the trophy that has eluded them for a decade. However, the visitors still have a chance to spoil their party at the SCG. India's batting struggles have been a major talking point in the series, with Skipper Rohit Sharma failing to find his form since returning from paternity leave. The senior experienced batters have also failed to deliver when it mattered most, putting the team in a difficult position. As they head into the final Test, India will be looking to turn the tables and salvage their pride with a strong performance.

The visitors have also struggled to get runs in the first innings, and their average is 22.40, which is also their seventh lowest in a season, where they have played atleast five Tests, which has meant that India have taken the catch-up role in the ongoing series. There has also been speculation that the Sydney Test could be Rohit’s last in the format. He hasn’t been able to get runs, and his on-field decisions haven’t worked out. Jasprit Bumrah has been India’s main saviour in the ongoing series. Despite poor form of the batters, Bumrah has wrecked chaos and has been the best bowler in the series.

For the Sydney Test, Mitchell Starc is expected to play although he is also dealing with fitness issues. Meanwhile, Beau Webster, who is an all-rounder, is set to make his debut and will also be Australia’s third debutant in the series after Nathan McSweeney and Sam Konstas. For India, Akash Deep has been ruled out due to a stiff back, which means we could see either Harshit Rana or Prasidh Krishna joined Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj in the pace battery. Dhruv Jurel is also expected to be included in the playing XI, possibly replacing Washington Sundar.

History also isn’t on India’s side as they look to draw the series. They have won only one out of 13 Tests at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Meanwhile, Steve Smith is nearing a milestone and is 38 short of 10,000 Test runs. He is expected to reach that mark in Sydney, and will join a list consisting of Allan Border, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting as the only Australians to do so.
