It is very difficult for a match to take place between India and Australia and nothing unusual happens. At present, the Boxing Day Test match is being played between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The host team won the toss and decided to bat first and the openers also gave it a good start.

 

Usman Khawaja (57) and Sam Konstas (60) shared an 89-run partnership for the first wicket. Jadeja gave India the first success of the day by dismissing debutant Konstas. After this, Khawaja was joined by Marnus Labuschagne (72) and both shared a 65-run partnership for the second wicket. Indian bowlers were sweating profusely in search of the second wicket.

Then Mohammad Siraj was seen doing a unique trick. This incident is from the 43rd over of the innings. After bowling the second ball, Mohammad Siraj went to the striker's end and swapped the bails. Then Marnus Labuschagne was on strike, who was surprised to see this trick. After this, on the first ball of the 45th over of the innings, Usman Khawaja became the victim of Indian pacer Bumrah.

 

Bumrah bowled a short pitch ball, on which Khawaja went to play a pull shot, but his timing was very bad. KL Rahul, who was at short midwicket, took a very easy catch. From Bumrah to Rahul and from Khawaja to the Australian team, no one could believe that the Kangaroo batsman was out. It is believed that Bumrah got the benefit of the swapping of bails by Mohammad Siraj and Khawaja's innings ended.

 

Australia's position is strong.

The first day of the Melbourne Test was pleasant for Australia. Four top order batsmen scored half-centuries. Alex Carey is also seen supporting Smith well. By the time this news was written, 80 overs of the game had been completed, in which the Kangaroo team scored 292 runs after losing 5 wickets. Steve Smith is playing after scoring 68* and Alex Carey is playing after scoring 24* runs. India's most successful bowler was Jaspreet Bumrah, who took three wickets.
