Virat Kohli's Indian cricket team were frustrated by the rain as the entire first session was washed out. However, on resumption, India achieved the task quickly to create history. Jasprit Bumrah took his ninth wicket in the match as he ended Pat Cummins' valiant knock of 63 while Ishant Sharma took the final wicket of Nathan Lyon to help India win the Boxing Day Test for the first time and secure a 2-1 lead in the four-match series. This is the first time since 1977/78 that India have won two Tests in a series in Australia and they will be aiming to create history in Sydney by winning the Test and securing their first-ever series win Down Under. For Australia, their miserable year ends on a sad note in Melbourne. (SCORECARD)
