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

Don’t miss our in-depth analysis and predictions for Australia’s Top 3 performers. Pat Cummins had already mentioned before the series started that he aimed to win the Border Gavaskar Trophy under his captaincy. The 31-year-old has won the Ashes, World Test Championship, and the ODI World Cup under his captaincy. For the last ten years, Australia hasn’t been able to beat India to win the coveted tournament named after two stalwarts. 

After the loss in Perth, the home team has held the sway in most of the matches since then. Travis Head’s brutal ton in Adelaide saw the hosts win by ten wickets while rain in Brisbane meant that the game ended in a stalemate. The Aussies then beat India by 184 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the series with the final match to be played on Friday. 

Here are the predicted Australia’s Top 3 performers in the SCG Test vs India

3. Steve Smith 

Steve Smith

Australian veteran batter Steve Smith began the ongoing BGT 2024/25 series in bad form with the bat. The 35-year-old has found his lost form and scored two successive tons in the series. Smith has an amazing record at his home ground and averages 70 at this venue. The right-handed batter is also yet to be dismissed for a duck at the SCG and will want to keep his good form with the bat going. The last time Steve Smith played a Test at this venue against India he scored a splendid Test ton.

2. Travis Head 

Travis Head

One of the most destructive batters in the world, Travis Head has been a constant thorn in India’s flesh. The left-handed batter scored 140 off 141 balls during the Adelaide Test and 152 during the first innings of the Brisbane Test match. In the last three innings, Head has failed to do well but he is just one innings away from turning things around for his side. Indian bowlers will be well aware of the threat he carries especially if he gets going.

1. Pat Cummins 

Pat Cummins

Australian skipper Pat Cummins has been the most valuable player for his side during the current series. The 31-year-old has picked 20 wickets with the ball including a fifer in Brisbane and has given his team the much-needed wickets at crucial junctures. Pat Cummins was also a more than useful contributor with the bat at MCG with innings of 49 and 41 that changed the course of the game. Cummins is yet another New South Wales player along with Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, and Sam Konstas who knows the conditions at his home ground pretty well.
