The Australian side is currently leading the series 2-1 and has been the most dominant in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2024-25) thus far. Although some Australian players, like as Travis Head and Pat Cummins, have put up some outstanding performances, some prominent players have not had the finest series. Mitchell Marsh, an Australian all-arounder, was one of them.
For those who are unaware, Marsh has had a disappointing BGT series, scoring just 73 runs in four games at an average of 10.42. Additionally, the 33-year-old was dropped for the last Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) because he was unable to take wickets with the ball. Beau Webster, who replaced Marsh exactly and boasts impressive numbers in first-class cricket, became a member of Australia’s playing XI as a result.
In 93 games on the domestic circuit, he has amassed 5,297 runs and claimed 148 wickets. Despite the fact that being dropped is never a pleasant experience, Mitchell Marsh’s gesture towards the debutant has gone viral on social media, and his admirers are in awe of him.
After receiving his beloved “baggy green” Test cap, Marsh showed no reluctance to congratulate the Websters’ family despite being cut from the playing XI. Thus, the cricket community considered it a genuine act of sportsmanship on the part of the 2021 T20 World Champion.

On the final ball of Day 1, Bumrah scores as India is cheaply folded.
Regarding the Sydney Test, Australian bowlers once again dominated the Indian hitters, dismissing them for a mere 185 runs. Australian opener Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja were enraged at the stroke of stumps on Day 1 just after Australia entered the batting order.
Consequently, Jasprit Bumrah, the substitute captain of India, became enraged and ultimately gave Khawaja a final laugh by catching him behind on the final ball of the day. Right now, on the first day of the Sydney Test, the home team is 9/1 at stumps.
