Get ready for an epic clash as India takes on Australia in the highly anticipated Boxing Day Test 2024 at the MCG! With the Border Gavaskar Trophy on the line and World Test Championship 2024 hopes at stake,

The Boxing Day Test match being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground has been absolutely blockbuster after the end of opening day's play. The first day of the MCG Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series ended on Australia accumulating 311 runs at the loss of six wickets.

Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Travis Head, the leading run-scorer of this series, for a duck on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test at the MCG on Thursday.

Mohammed Siraj was indirectly targeted by Mohammad Kaif after Jasprit Bumrah celebrated Travis Head's wicket with a smile in the Boxing Day Test.

The flamboyant batter troubled the visitors throughout the series but at the MCG, he failed to read the line as the 30-year-old made an error in judgement as he lifted his bat and Bumrah’s inswinger went on to smash the top of the off stump.
