  • Australia were undefeated in their first seven Boxing Day men's Tests against India (W5 D2) but have lost their two most recent clashes starting on December 26th (2018 & 2020); indeed, their last win in a Boxing Day Test against India was in 2011 when they won by 122 runs – Nathan Lyon and Virat Kohli are the only players from that match to feature in the squads for this current series.
  • Australia have won their last three consecutive Boxing Day men’s Tests – two by a margin of more than an innings – after winning only one of their previous four; in fact, the last time they won more consecutive Boxing Day Tests was a nine-game streak from 1999 to 2007.
  • Australia have lost only one of their last six men’s Tests against India (W3 D2) despite winning the toss only once in that frame; however, they’ve won only one of their last six against India at home (D2 L3) and haven’t beaten India at a home venue other than Adelaide Oval since December 2018 at Perth Stadium.
  • India have won only one of their last six men’s Tests (D1 L4) after winning six in a row in the format prior to that term, while 2024 (L5) is the first time since 2018 (L7) that they’ve lost more than three matches within a calendar year.
  • Sri Lanka (46.5) are the only team with a better batting average against spin in men’s Tests in 2024 than Australia (38.4), despite Australia’s 76% good connection rate against turning deliveries being the third lowest of any team in the period (New Zealand 73%, Ireland 75%).
  • India batters have a strike rate of 59 on the first 20 balls faced of their innings in men’s Tests in 2024, the second-highest rate of any team behind only England (66), while Australia have dismissed 27 batters within the first 20 balls faced across their last three Tests at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
  • Steve Smith (Australia) – who’s career Test batting average of 78.1 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is the third-best of any player (min. 10 innings) behind only Sir Donald Bradman (128.5) and Bill Lawry (78.7) – is 191 runs away from becoming the fourth Australian to reach 10,000 Test runs overall; indeed, he’s scored 191+ runs in a Test six times in his career including once at the MCG (192 vs India in December 2014).
  • Jasprit Bumrah (India) is six away from reaching 200 Test wickets, a feat previously managed by only 11 other India bowlers; he has taken at least three wickets in five of his last six innings against Australia and has the best bowling average against them of any India bowler (min. 4 innings).
  • Scott Boland (Australia) has taken 117 first class wickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground since he debuted in the Sheffield Shield in 2011, which is 43 more than any other player has taken at the venue in that time; he’s taken 10 wickets at an average of 13.8 across his four Test innings at the venue.
  • Virat Kohli (India) has been dismissed for single figures on eight occasions in Tests in 2024, more times than he had been across the previous three years combined (7 times); in fact, only against England (13 times) has he been dismissed for fewer than 10 runs more times than he has against Australia (12 times).
