Australia’s last victory over India at the MCG in test cricket came during the BGT 2011-12. The Boxing Day test was also the first test of that four-match series.

India and Australia are currently facing each other in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. At the end of Day 2, the hosts are on top having reduced India to 164/5 after posting 474 runs on the board.

Steve Smith's magnificent knock of 140 that truly anchored Australia's innings. His performance ensured that the home team would post a formidable total, as Australia reached a massive 474 runs.
