On the field, the hosts outperformed India with both bat and ball. Australia posted a mammoth first-innings total of 474, setting the tone for the match. In response, India struggled to find their footing and ended Day 2 at 164/4, still trailing by 310 runs.
The day began poorly for India and ended on a similar note. Despite a promising start by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who anchored the innings with a composed 82, India suffered a late collapse. Jaiswal’s unfortunate run-out at 153/2 triggered a domino effect, with India losing three wickets for just 11 runs. Virat Kohli (25) and Ravindra Jadeja (4*) couldn’t stabilize the innings as Australian bowlers tightened their grip.
With the pressure mounting, India faces a challenging task to claw their way back into the game. Day 3 will be critical for the visitors as they look to avoid conceding a massive first-innings deficit. Meanwhile, Australia will aim to capitalize on their commanding position and edge closer to a series-defining victory. As the match progresses, the intensity both on and off the field at the MCG continues to captivate cricket fans worldwide.
