All eyes on Virat & Rohit to plot a magical win, rediscover glory
Financial Express Hyderabad|December 30, 2024
IF SUNDAY'S TEST cricket at the MCG was exhilarating, a mouth-watering Monday awaits the audience on Monday. With Australia's overall lead sitting on 333—the highest score a team has chased to win here is 332, almost a century ago—and with a wicket in hand, all three results are possible.

A historic Border-Gavaskar retaining triumph by the Indians; a vital win for Australia, who were reeling on Saturday morning but were revived by captain Pat Cummins and the fellow bowlers; or that cricket-romantic's dream of a tie that both countries can't stop talking about since the 1987 one in Chennai.

But two Indians have more reasons than most to dare, hope and dream: Rohit Sharma, the under-fire captain whose batting has suggested he is playing from a fading memory in this series, and Virat Kohli, who hasn't been quite able to discipline his mind from betraying him.

Dr Manmohan Singh, RIP

emissary he had deployed. Although sceptical, I bounded off to North Block and was ushered in. It was my first official meeting with the FM. I conveyed the request, not a direction, of the prime minister. Dr Singh was puzzled — I could see that on his face — by the message or, perhaps, the messenger. He listened politely and told me that the second step had already been taken within minutes of the markets opening at 10 am.
