India vs Australia 4th Test highlights
In a thrilling display of Test cricket, Australia delivered a dominant performance in the final session to secure a decisive victory, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. India, sitting at 112/3 at tea with Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal steady at the crease, appeared hopeful of salvaging a draw. However, Australia knew that a single breakthrough could shift the tide—and that’s exactly what happened.
Pant, attempting another big shot, fell at a crucial juncture, triggering a dramatic collapse. What followed was a complete unraveling of India’s batting lineup, as they lost their final seven wickets for just 34 runs. The Australian attack, relentless and clinical, capitalised on the opening, leaving India no room to recover.
Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon were at their best, dismantling the Indian resistance with precision and ensuring a resounding win for the visitors. The result is a stark reminder of Australia’s ability to seize opportunities and turn matches in their favour when given even the slightest chance. India second innings scorecard:

Chasing a steep target of 340, India appears unlikely to pursue the improbable chase, with only 38 overs remaining in the game. A draw seems the most probable outcome as the match nears its conclusion.
Australia dominate morning session
Australia began the day on a high, reducing India to a precarious 33 for 3 by lunch. Skipper Rohit Sharma (9 off 40 balls), KL Rahul (0), and Virat Kohli (5) all fell cheaply, leaving the visitors reeling.
Rohit adopted an ultra-defensive approach but was undone by Australian captain Pat Cummins (2/19 off 14 overs), who dismissed him for the tenth time in Test cricket. Kohli’s struggles outside the off-stump continued as he edged a Mitchell Starc delivery to first slip after attempting an ill-timed cover drive. Rahul, meanwhile, failed to trouble the scorers, falling to another excellent delivery.
Jaiswal, who initially looked unconvincing, batted cautiously to reach 14 off 83 balls at lunch.
Jaiswal, Pant steady the ship
The post-lunch session belonged to India, as Jaiswal (63* off 159) and Pant (28* off 93) added an unbroken 79-run partnership for the fourth wicket, frustrating the Australian attack.
Jaiswal, who earlier focused on defence, capitalised on the easing conditions and scored freely in the second session, hitting seven boundaries. Pant, known for his aggressive style, curbed his instincts and played a restrained knock, showcasing maturity under pressure. His only aggressive stroke came when he dispatched a half-tracker from Scott Boland to the boundary.
The Australian bowlers, led by Cummins and Boland, toiled hard but found little assistance from the pitch or the aging Kookaburra ball.
Bumrah shines in the morning
Earlier in the day, Jasprit Bumrah completed his 13th five-wicket haul in Test cricket, as Australia were bowled out for 234 in their second innings. Bumrah’s stellar effort gave India a glimmer of hope, but the top-order collapse quickly shifted the balance back in Australia’s favour.
As the final session approaches, the match seems destined for a draw, with Jaiswal and Pant holding the key to India’s survival.

Australia captain Pat Cummins, awarded the Johnny Mullagh Medal for Player of the Match, called the Boxing Day Test victory one of the most memorable of his career. "What an amazing Test match, I reckon one of the best I've been part of," he said. He also praised the electric atmosphere at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, saying, "All week the crowd has been ridiculous, and it's been amazing to be part of."
On Australia’s decision to bat on instead of declaring, Cummins explained, "We wanted to take an India victory out of the equation. We had plenty of runs to play with and as many helmets around the bat as we could."
The captain heaped praise on Steve Smith for his standout performance with the bat and his sharp fielding. "[Smith] just showed how to bat on that wicket. He was brilliant, and some handy catches, sometimes that goes unnoticed in the slips," Cummins noted.

“One of the best I’ve been part of”
Australia captain Pat Cummins, awarded the Johnny Mullagh Medal for Player of the Match, called the Boxing Day Test victory one of the most memorable of his career. "What an amazing Test match, I reckon one of the best I've been part of," he said. He also praised the electric atmosphere at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, saying, "All week the crowd has been ridiculous, and it's been amazing to be part of."
Contributions from the team
Cummins acknowledged the crucial performances that shaped Australia’s victory, giving special mention to Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne. "Marnus helped me out in that second innings big time, happy to contribute. Amazing innings from Steve. Winning the toss, it wasn't easy on the first day, but to get up to the high 400s was terrific."
The strategy behind not declaring
On Australia’s decision to bat on instead of declaring, Cummins explained, "We wanted to take an India victory out of the equation. We had plenty of runs to play with and as many helmets around the bat as we could."
Focus on lower-order contributions
Cummins highlighted the importance of Australia’s tailenders in the team’s success. "We put a lot of work into our lower-order batting. We work a lot on how best to bowl to the opposition batters firstly, but also how we can contribute with the bat," he said.
Smith’s brilliance and team efforts
The captain heaped praise on Steve Smith for his standout performance with the bat and his sharp fielding. "[Smith] just showed how to bat on that wicket. He was brilliant, and some handy catches, sometimes that goes unnoticed in the slips," Cummins noted.
The decision to bring in Travis Head
Explaining Travis Head’s role, Cummins said, "We were a bit behind on the over rate, so we thought, get Trav in there, it may help us out with that."
A moment to savour
Cummins expressed his delight at the team’s performance and the atmosphere in the dressing room. "Very happy change room, we'll savour this for a little bit before we get to Sydney," he concluded.
12:15 PM
India captain Rohit Sharma expressed his disappointment after the loss in the Boxing Day Test against Australia. "It is pretty disappointing. It's not that we went in with the intent of giving up the fight. We wanted to fight till the end, and unfortunately, we couldn't do it," he said, acknowledging the team’s inability to sustain their performance.
Reflecting on his personal thoughts post-match, Rohit revealed, "I went back to my room and thought about what else we could have done as a team, but we threw everything we had. They fought hard, especially that last-wicket partnership, which probably cost us the game there."
The captain reflected on the team’s overall performance, saying, "There are ways to win games, and we fell short in finding ways to win games."
The Indian skipper lauded Bumrah for his exceptional performance despite limited support. "Absolutely brilliant, we've been watching him for so many years now, coming here and getting the job done. He's not a statistical person; he just wants to play for the country and do well for the team, but unfortunately, he's not got a lot of support from the other side."

“Pretty disappointing”
India captain Rohit Sharma expressed his disappointment after the loss in the Boxing Day Test against Australia. "It is pretty disappointing. It's not that we went in with the intent of giving up the fight. We wanted to fight till the end, and unfortunately, we couldn't do it," he said, acknowledging the team’s inability to sustain their performance.
“We had our chances”
Rohit highlighted moments where India failed to capitalise, particularly when they had Australia at 90 for 6. "It'll be tough to assess just the last two sessions. If you look at the overall Test match, we had our chances, but we didn't take them," he said. "We know things can get tough, but we want to play tough cricket from hard situations."
“We threw everything we had”
Reflecting on his personal thoughts post-match, Rohit revealed, "I went back to my room and thought about what else we could have done as a team, but we threw everything we had. They fought hard, especially that last-wicket partnership, which probably cost us the game there."
On India’s chase
Rohit admitted that the target of 340 was always challenging but felt the team didn’t set the right foundation. "We knew 340 wasn't going to be easy. We tried to set a platform and keep wickets in hand for the last two sessions, but they bowled perfectly as well. We wanted to go for the target, but we didn't set the platform from our side," he explained.
“We fell short in finding ways to win”
The captain reflected on the team’s overall performance, saying, "There are ways to win games, and we fell short in finding ways to win games."
Praise for Nitish Kumar Reddy
Rohit commended debutant NKR (full name implied) for his resilience in tough conditions. "He's coming here for the first time. These conditions can get really tough, but he showed great character, solid technique as well. He's got everything to be successful at this level. I hope he goes from strength to strength, and he's got all the backing from the team as well."
On Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliance
The Indian skipper lauded Bumrah for his exceptional performance despite limited support. "Absolutely brilliant, we've been watching him for so many years now, coming here and getting the job done. He's not a statistical person; he just wants to play for the country and do well for the team, but unfortunately, he's not got a lot of support from the other side."
