23. Reliving India's historic win on Boxing Day vs Australia- Review of the 2nd Test

This episode is all about India's exceptional win vs Australia in the 2nd Boxing Day test match. This was certainly a special win considering how we were handed a humiliating loss in the 1st test getting bundled out for 36. This win was a reassurance that there is still so much more to this side and for those writing off India were just being hasty and underestimating this class side. This episode features Neha discussing India’s record on Boxing Day test matches, a snippet on the history of Boxing Day, Prithvi Shaw getting axed, Mayank Agarwal’s disastrous form, Rahane’s captaincy and the unfair jibes at Kohli’s captaincy, Rishabh Pant’s inclusion, the session wise importance and India capitalizing on it.
Additionally we will be focussing on the brilliant century by Rahane, India’s batting, Umesh Yadav’s injury, Steve Smith’s inability to get the big runs and Labuchagne’s impressive run with the bat, Jadeja’s form & Bumrah and Ashwin’s dominance, The mighty debutants- Siraj and Gill and possible changes and new entrants going ahead for Team India and Australia, different permutations and combinations possible.
