Predicting India’s Top 3 performers from their fifth Test against Australia 

Previewing and predicting India’s Top 3 performers for the decisive fifth Test. After over a month of exciting cricketing action, the 2024/25 Border Gavaskar Trophy is set to come to an end. The final game of the series is set to be played at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground with the hosts leading the series 2-1. Pat Cummins and his side won the last game in Melbourne by 184 runs during the final session of play. 

Rohit Sharma is expected to miss the game which means Jasprit Bumrah is set to lead the time once again. It is also reported that Shubman Gill and Prasidh Krishna are set to feature in the game. The final Test in Sydney is a must-win game for India with both the BGT and the WTC hopes hanging in the balance. 

Here are the top 3 likely India’s Top 3 performers in the final game of the series at the SCG:

3. Nitish Reddy 

The 21-year-old was a curious pick for India’s tour of Australia but has come out and proved that he has what it takes to play at the highest level. Nitish Reddy scored a brilliant century for India while batting at number 8 in the last match at the MCG. So far the 21-year-old has scored 294 runs from 4 matches with an average of 49. He has also picked 3 wickets and considering SCG resembles the pitches back home in India, Nitish could be a handful at this venue.

2. Yashasvi Jaiswal 

Young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was the best batter for India during the last game at the MCG. The 23-year-old had scores of 82 and 84 to wage a lone battle with the bat in hand. Yashasvi Jaiswal began the series with a brilliant 161 before having a lean patch in the next few games. 2024 was a great year for Jaiswal in the Test format and the youngster will hope to do well once more and start the year on a high.

1. Jasprit Bumrah 

31-year-old pacer Jasprit Bumrah is all set to lead India for the third time in Test cricket. So far Bumrah has been the best bowler across both sides with 30 wickets in the first four games. The right-arm pacer can make sure that his legend keeps growing if he can put in yet another lion-hearted performance. So far Bumrah has picked three fifers in the series and been difficult for batters to play.
