India and Australia are currently playing in the fourth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The Australian team is gradually taking the game away from the Indian team at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.

The will to dominate was clear from the Australian team from the first session of the match, when Sam Konstas batted with positive intent and aggressive attitude. His attack caught the Indian bowlers off guard and the home team placed themselves firmly on the driver's seat.

Even after the dismissal of Konstas, the Aussies did not lose the grip on the game. The partnership of Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja further strengthened their position in the match.  It took a magical spell by Jasprit Bumrah to keep India in the game at the end of Day 1. 

Virat Kohli Inspires The Indian Spectators To Cheer Louder

The fact that Steve Smith was still at the crease was thing to concerned for India. The Australian maestro changed this concern into a big head ache as he scored his 34th Test century on the second day of the match. One of the modern greats in cricket is still batting and taking the total towards a formidable one.

While Smith and Cummins were seen frustrating the Indian team, Virat Kohli was seen trying to inspire the Indian spectators at MCG in his own style. During the 104th over of the Australian innings, Kohli was stationed at the deep square leg region. As he reached his position, the Indian spectators in that zone were seen cheering for him. Kohli signalled them to cheer louder. Earlier while Kohli fielded a ball in the third man region, the Australian crowd booed him, this reaction might have been a reply to that previous incident.
