After MCG Debacle, Rohit Looks Forward to Sydney Redemption
The Statesman
|December 31, 2024
The 184-run defeat in the Boxing Day Test has put India in a must-win situation ahead of the New Year's Test in Sydney, to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which they have held for more than a decade now.

The Indian team, led by Jasprit Bumrah's brilliance and rising star Nitish Kumar Reddy's maiden Test century, fought well in the past three days at the Melbourne Cricket Ground that witnessed unprecedented footfall during the epic clash, but eventually the tourists were well and truly outplayed by Pat Cummins' side, who made the most of a handy first-innings lead. Like the remainder of the series, India's senior batters Virat Kohli (167 runs at 27.83) and captain Rohit Sharma (31 runs at 6.2) failed to get going with a cumulative score of 53 from their four outings in the match.
