India gained a slender 4-run lead against Australia on Day 2 of the 5th Test in Sydney. Jasprit Bumrah’s injury didn’t deter India, as Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna grabbed 3 wickets each, restricting Australia to 181. Debutant Beau Webster’s 57 and Steve Smith’s 33 were Australia’s highlights. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul dominated the Australian bowlers in India’s second innings, adding vital runs with boundaries. With India’s batters building momentum, the game’s balance hangs on their ability to capitalize on this early advantage.
