Rishabh Pant’s Heartwarming Moment with a Young Fan at the MCG
NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant recently captured hearts during a net session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), showcasing his warmth and humility.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: A Series in Balance
As the cricketing world buzzes with excitement, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is currently tied at 1-1. India opened the series with a commanding 295-run victory in Perth, but Australia responded with a resounding 10-wicket win in the Pink Ball Test at Adelaide. The recent draw at the Gabba has set the stage for an electrifying Boxing Day Test at the MCG, where both teams are keen to seize the momentum.
India’s Top Order Concerns
Despite their strong showing, India faces challenges with their fragile top order. Across five innings in the series, the team has struggled to build a solid opening partnership, surpassing a mere 12-run stand on four occasions. The standout was a stellar 201-run partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul during the second innings of the series opener, which set the foundation for India’s victory.
Looking Ahead
Heading into the Boxing Day Test, India must secure victories in both remaining matches to clinch a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final without relying on other results. Meanwhile, Australia requires two wins and a draw in their next four Tests to ensure their qualification.
