India fought valiantly on Day 4 of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, ending Australia’s second innings at 228/9. Jasprit Bumrah’s fiery spell, including 4 wickets and his 200th Test scalp, dismantled Australia’s batting. Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja also contributed key dismissals. Despite India’s efforts, a resilient 50-run last-wicket partnership between Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland extended Australia’s lead to 333. Earlier, India’s Nitish Kumar Reddy scored a valiant 114, bringing India’s first innings total to 369. With one day remaining, India faces a challenging chase in this thrilling Border-Gavaskar Trophy encounter.
