IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2024-25) is at its most crucial phase, with the series tied at 1-1. The visitors and Australia are set to face off in the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, starting on Thursday, December 26. The visitors will aim to secure a win and take the lead in the series.
The pitch provided for the visitors' practice sessions at the MCG had variable bounce and offered little assistance to the bowlers. Skipper Rohit Sharma also suffered a knee injury during his session. Practice wickets with more pace and some grass were available, but the Indian team was not given access to them.
