India on 180 for 3 against Australia in 4th Test match in Sydney

India were 180 for 3 against Australia in the fourth and final Cricket test in Sydney, when reports last came in. Earlier, India won the toss and elected to bat. Leading 2-1 in the four-match series, India have already retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after victory in Melbourne. Virat Kohli is in a unique position as the only Indian captain to go into the final Test on Australian soil with the cushion of a lead. On the other hand, Australia, who have never lost a home series against India, go into the fourth Test in danger of



being at the receiving end due to batting and bowling woes.

Pujara, who has faced more balls and scored more than anyone else in the series, slowly picked off runs, leaving any flamboyance to others, to bring up his 21st Test half-century in 134 balls.

At tea on day one, India were 180 for three with the dependable Pujara on 61, grinding out his fourth half-century of the series, and Ajinkya Rahane not out on 0  were playing.
