Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant lit up the Sydney cricket ground with a scintillating knock, reaching 5,000 runs in international cricket during the final Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Pant's aggressive innings of 61 from 33 balls included six boundaries and four towering sixes.

Pant began cautiously with a 40-run contribution in India's first innings but shifted gears dramatically in the second, taking on Australia's Scott Boland with his signature flair. Despite ongoing challenges in the series, Pant remains India's sixth-highest run scorer, accumulating 255 runs in five matches.

India's top order collapsed yet again, struggling against Boland and compatriots as they wrapped up the first innings at 185/10. Australia faltered too, all out for 181, with newcomers like Beau Webster showcasing potential. By day's end, India wobbled at 141/6, clinging to hopes of a revival.
