## India’s Top Order Crumbles on Day 1 of Sydney Test
**Sydney, Australia:** India’s batting lineup suffered a dramatic collapse on the first day of the fifth and final Test against Australia, losing four top-order batsmen for just 75 runs. Jasprit Bumrah, captaining in Rohit Sharma’s absence, saw his team struggle against the Australian pace attack. KL Rahul (4), Yashasvi Jaiswal (10), Shubman Gill (12), and Virat Kohli (17) all fell cheaply, leaving India reeling at 72/4 at the close of play. The Australian bowlers, particularly Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc, exploited the conditions effectively. India will hope for a strong lower-order performance to salvage a respectable total. This match is crucial for India’s hopes of qualifying for the World Test Championship final.
