New Delhi: Star Sports, on Friday, released the promo of fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia scheduled to take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from December 26 to December 30. The series stands equally poised at 1-1 after the third Test at the Gabba, Brisbane ended in a draw due to persistent bad weather all through the five days.
The toughest rivalry intensifies between two of the great cricketing nations as the Boxing Day Test’s excitement and relevance has always been a tad different from the rest of the Test matches in the series. Meanwhile, Star Sports released a promo, 6 days ahead of the start of the match, which emphasised on the rivalry between India and Australia going on to the next level. Showcasing some bits and pieces from the past three matches of the series, the promo seems to reignite the excitement level to a different level.
