The India-Australia fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) set a new attendance milestone for Test matches in Australia, with over 350,700 fans attending across five days. This surpasses the previous record set in 1937. Daily turnout peaked at 87,242 on the first day and remained strong, with over 51,000 attending the fifth day’s first session alone. The Melbourne Cricket Club underestimated the final day’s numbers, causing delays as only one gate was opened. This follows India’s remarkable fan turnout during the 2022 T20 World Cup at the same venue, solidifying the ground’s place in cricket history.
