The Australian side also worked hard on in-form batter Travis Head’s injury and included him in the squad for the fourth Test against India.

Australia historically has an edge in the Boxing Day Test matches winning 26 matches at MCG against various opponents. India managed to win two and drew two Tests on Boxing Day against Australia, while the hosts won five matches. Interestingly India’s both wins came in the recent Boxing Day Test matches against Australia – in 2018 and 2020 and the side will look to replicate the similar performance at Melbourne Cricket Ground.  IND vs AUS 4th Test 2024 Preview: Likely Playing XIs, Key Battles, H2H and More About India vs Australia Border-Gavaskar Trophy Match in Melbourne.
