India-Australia Clash in Boxing Day Test

The fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is set to commence on December 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), marking the iconic Boxing Day Test. This match is crucial for both teams, which are grappling with similar challenges such as batting inconsistencies and an aging core.

India began the series strongly with a 295-run victory in Perth but suffered a 10-wicket loss in the day-night Test in Adelaide. The Brisbane Test ended in a draw, highlighting the inconsistency in both teams' performances. Senior batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are under scrutiny for their sporadic performances, while young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill have struggled to capitalize on opportunities. However, KL Rahulā€™s steady form provides some hope for the Indian team[1].

Jasprit Bumrah has been a standout performer for India, taking 21 wickets in the first three Tests with an impressive average of 10.90 and an economy rate of 2.60. He has dominated Australia's batting lineup, with only Travis Head managing to score significantly against him. Bumrah's performance has been pivotal, and his ability to take wickets and contribute with the bat has been crucial for India's chances[3].

The Boxing Day Test at the MCG holds significant historical and emotional value, and India's record in these matches is mixed, with four wins, eight losses, and two draws in 14 matches. One of the memorable moments for India was the 2020 Test where Ajinkya Rahane led the team to an eight-wicket victory after a historic low of 36 all-out in Adelaide[1].
