Australian team captain Pat Cummins has praised his team after the Melbourne Test match, calling it the best Test match of his career. In this match, Australia defeated India by 184 runs on the last day, in which the Indian team lost seven wickets in the last session. When Rishabh Pant was out, it seemed as if the process of falling wickets had started. With this win, Australia under the captaincy of Pat Cummins has taken a 2-1 lead in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Pat Cummins said in the press conference held after the fourth Test match, “When you consider all these things, it was one of the best Test matches I have played. Nearly 80,000 viewers in the first three days and over 74,000 viewers today, it’s a big deal. This match was constantly swinging; It never felt like we were so far ahead that victory was certain. Overall, it was one of the great wins. When we walked out of the field, almost everyone was trying to figure out which direction this match was going.”

The course of the game changed several times in the five days of the match. Australia scored 474 runs in its first innings. On the second day, India’s score was 221/7, but Nitish Reddy’s maiden Test century and Washington Sundar’s half-century rescued the visitors from a difficult situation. Despite a lead of 105 runs, Australia faced difficulties in the second innings due to the pace bowling of Jasprit Bumrah, when the team lost six wickets for 91 runs. After this, Marnus Labuschagne and the lower order batsmen made a comeback for the team, which proved to be decisive in the match.
