The Australia vs India 4th Test at Melbourne is the penultimate test match in a series which concludes with the now traditional New Year Test in Sydney. The Boxing Day Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground has also become an Australian tradition since the 1980s, although the MCG had hosted occasional test matches during the Christmas period before this date.
Both sides have good recent records at this venue. Australia have only lost two of their last 13 matches here – but both these defeats were in their last two encounters with India. The Melbourne pitch tends to be one of the slower Australian wickets, which suits the tourists.
India won by 8 wickets in 2020, and by 137 runs in 2018 when Jasprit Bumrah was the player of the match. In his two matches in Melbourne, Bumrah has taken 15 wickets at an average of 13. The 31-year-old opening bowler comes into the test in fine form, having taken 6-76 in the first innings of the previous test, in Brisbane.
