Tensions Flare in India vs. Australia Test

In the ongoing Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, tensions flared as debutant Sam Konstas had an on-field altercation with Virat Kohli, raising concerns about potential ICC code violations for Kohli. Indian captain Rohit Sharma faces criticism for dropping Shubman Gill in favor of Washington Sundar, a decision questioned by fans and experts. Rohit's tactics are under scrutiny amid India's struggles in the series, which is tied 1-1, and the team is adjusting to Ravichandran Ashwin's unexpected retirement impacting their bowling strategy. Australia, led by Pat Cummins, opted to bat first and have shown strong form with Khawaja and Labuschagne building a solid partnership. The series is crucial for both teams, with India needing a win to stay in the World Test Championship race.
