India lost the MCG Test to Australia by 184 runs, conceding the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as the hosts secured a 2-1 series lead. Yashasvi Jaiswal's controversial dismissal on Day 5 sparked debate, with BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla criticizing third umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat for overruling the on-field decision without conclusive evidence. Jaiswal, who scored a valiant 84 off 208 balls, fell in the 71st over when a Snicko review suggested no contact with his gloves, yet the umpire ruled him out. The decision proved pivotal as India's hopes crumbled. The fifth Test begins on January 3 in Sydney.
