Jasprit Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy were the undisputed stars of the Indian team alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal in the recently-concluded Boxing Day Test 2024 between India and Australia, as the former two have managed to make their appearance on the esteemed MCG Honours Board for their respective set of achievements.

Jasprit Bumrah grabbed a five-wicket haul, while Nitish Kumar Reddy scored a memorable ton to secure his first three-digit figures in the red-ball cricket on the international stage.

However, inspite of their best efforts, rest of the team (excluding Yashasvi Jaiswal) performed extremely bad, as Australia managed to produce one of the iconic last-session victories in recent memory, with them scalping 7 wickets in the final sesison of Day 5 to hand India a 184-run hammering.
