Meanwhile, stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane led Team India is still trailing Australia by 159 runs with four days to go. So, all in all, it would be still a lot to come for the batters as well as bowlers and we should have another gripping day tomorrow. The visitors will resume their day two with 36/1. Lets's hope this Indian team will get on to the MCG with a synergy to chase Australia's modest first innings 195 and established a massive lead.

Earlier, Australia won the toss and opted to bat first. Indian disciplined bowling attack plotted fall of Australia for a paltry 195 in the first innings on the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. Jasprit Bumrah and R Ashwin-led Indian attack showcased splendid bowling efforts from India, bowling out the Aussies before stumps.
