    4th Test: Australia In Driver's Seat After Smith’s 140 And India’s Batting Meltdown (Ld)

    By IANS News December 27, 2024 • 13:46 PM View: 855
    Boxing Day Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli shared a 102-run stand for the third wicket before the duo fell quickly in a sensational late collapse as India ended day two’s play at 164/5 in 46 overs and trail Australia by 310 runs in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.

    After Steve Smith's 140, his 34th Test hundred and 11th against India, carried Australia to a formidable 474, Jaiswal and Kohli were in cruise control in front of 85,147 fans. The possibility of Jaiswal, who mixed caution and aggression judiciously, and Kohli, who presented a secure and watchful look at the crease, remaining unbeaten till stumps arrived was more than certain.

    But then, chaos struck as Jaiswal fell for 82 in a run out caused by an awful mix-up, and was soon followed into the dressing room by Kohli and nightwatchman Akash Deep as India went from 151/2 to 159/5, and blew the game wide open.
