India vs Australia has been going through an intense Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, with both teams gearing up for the crucial fourth Test on Boxing Day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, has been focused on rigorous training sessions, particularly for senior players Virat Kohli and Sharma, who are determined to regain form.
Kohli began the series strongly with a century in Perth but has struggled since, scoring only 26 runs across the next two games. Meanwhile, Sharma’s performance has been underwhelming, managing just 19 runs in two matches. Both players’ contributions will be pivotal for India to secure a series win.
However, the training sessions at MCG saw a hiccup as Sharma and Kohli expressed frustration at fans shouting and demanding specific shots during practice. While previous sessions were held behind closed doors due to incidents of player abuse, fans were present this time, causing discomfort for the senior players.
With the series at stake, India aims to bounce back, relying heavily on Kohli and Sharma to deliver in the upcoming matches.
