The much-awaited fourth Test of the ongoing series between India and Australia will get underway this week. The Boxing Day Test will be played from Thursday (December 26) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The five-match series is currently locked at 1-1 after the third Test in Brisbane ended in a draw. India won the first Test in Perth by 295 runs before Australia won the Adelaide Test by 10 wickets to draw level.
Australia were the better side in the third Test as well but rain denied them the opportunity to take the lead in the series. Batting first, Australia scored 445 runs in the first innings with in-form Travis Head and Steve Smith scoring centuries.
In reply, India were bowled out for 260 runs. Australia declared their second innings on 89 for 7 to set India a target of 275 runs in just over 50 overs. However, rain played spoilsport on the final day as well as the game was finally called off when India were on 8/0.
