Australia won an all-time classic Test, taking seven wickets in the final session on day five to defeat India by 184 runs. BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla lashed out at the video umpire over Indian opener’s dismissal in the MCG Test, but a trio of former Test batsmen have attempted to ease tensions.

The Boxing Day Test between India and Australia has set new records at the MCG, with over 2,99,329 fans attending the first three days.

The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) created history during the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2024, shattering an all-time attendance record for a Test match in Australia. Over five days, 350,700 spectators visited the venue, exceeding the previous record of 350,534 set in 1937.
