After a solid fourth-day performance, India began Day 5 on 164/3, with Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane carrying the team’s expectations. Even though India lost Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara quickly in the last session of Day 4, Kohli was still undefeated at 44 and Rahane was batting at 20. Both appeared to be in control of the situation.
The last day’s players both got off to a controlled start, but Scott Boland ultimately made the crucial out of Virat Kohli on 49 just beyond the session’s halfway point.
Kohli was tempted by Boland to attempt a cover drive, but the batsman found a thick outside edge that travelled to Steve Smith at slips.
Then, two deliveries later, Ravindra Jadeja left the game in the same over, ending India’s chances of winning the match.
Ajinkya Rahane was given the responsibility of leading India to victory once more, but despite the batter being confident in his stay at the crease, he too exited the pitch in the 57th over, with Mitchell Starc claiming the wicket.
At that point, India’s score was 212/6, and winning seemed impossible.
The last four wickets were then easily taken by the Australian pacers in the space of the following 22 runs, with Mohammed Siraj being bowled by Nathan Lyon for India’s final wicket.
