India and Australia aiming to wrest control
Both India and Australia are aiming to wrest control in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. With the series locked in at 1-1, both teams will look to seize the initiative in the Boxing Test in Melbourne. India started off the series with a thumping 295-run win in the opening Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth before Australia bounced back immediately in the second Test to restore parity.
It was a dominating performance by the hosts, who demolished the visitors, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, who returned to lead the side from paternal duties. The Day-Night Test in Adelaide ended up as a one-sided affair as the home side asserted their pink-ball dominance at home with a 10-wicket win.
India were fortunate in the third Test in Brisbane as a combination of rain, Jasprit Bumrah and tail-enders saved India from defeat.
