Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has criticised Virat Kohli’s conduct during the series defeat to Australia. Australia came from 1-0 down to win the fiery five-match series 3-1, successfully regaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade and qualifying for this summer’s World Test Championship final.

Tough decisions might need to be made for India's slumping Test cricket team in desperate need of a reboot after falling away in Australia.

Team India need to register a win at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) to stay in contention for a place in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 final. In addition to that, they also need to pray that Australia do not achieve anything more than two draws in Sri Lanka.

India's 3-1 defeat in Australia exposed the fragility of their top order, but equally unmissable was how much they rely on pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who gave it all until he broke down in the series finale in Sydney.
