Australia Wins Fourth Test to Lead Series 2-1

Australia secured a 2-1 series lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a dramatic victory in the fourth Test at Melbourne, where India collapsed from 112-3 to 155 all out, chasing 340. Pat Cummins' leadership and bowling were pivotal, earning him the player of the match, while a record MCG crowd witnessed the collapse despite a strong partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant. Australia's bowlers, including Cummins, Scott Boland, and Nathan Lyon, capitalized on India's collapse. The final Test in Sydney will determine if Australia can reclaim the trophy for the first time since 1997, or if India will retain it with a series-leveling win. The series outcome will also impact the World Test Championship standings, with Australia looking to secure their place in the final against South Africa.
