India's Intense Preparations Set The Stage For A Historic Boxing Day Test Showdown Against Australia At MCG | Sports Live

The Indian cricket team completed their final preparations for the Boxing Day Test match against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). On December 25, Christmas Day, the team took a break, as the city enters a festive mood. However, the following day, the players had a full-fledged net session on the green practice pitches. Focus was primarily on batting, with instructions on playing deliveries closer to the stumps. Key Indian players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul spent time refining their techniques. Despite the challenging conditions, including bouncing and moving deliveries, the players appeared to be in good form. India aims to build on their recent success at this venue, where they’ve won their last two Test matches, including the memorable Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in 2021. The team is ready for the high-stakes match starting December 26.
