India batter with bittersweet MCG connection on verge of rare hat-trick in 4th Test which even Kohli, Sachin can't claim

Hindustan Times  

Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli possess the kind of record against Australia one can only wish for. Indian players celebrates the wicket of Australia's Nathan McSweeney during play on day five of the third cricket test between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane However, despite all that the two quintessential superstars of Indian batting have achieved, the one thing they don't have on their resume to show is what KL Rahul can claim beginning Thursday – a hat-trick of Test tons in Boxing Day Tests. Rahul has scored a hundred in his two previous Boxing Day Tests – 123 against South Africa in Centurion, 2021, and 101 at the same venue against the same opponent two years later. Tendulkar has played 10 Boxing Day Tests in his career and scored 636 runs, including back-to-back centuries – 113 against New Zealand at Hamilton in 1998 and 116 against Australia exactly a year later. In 2010, when India toured South Africa for a three-Test series, Sachin scored a hundred each in Centurion and Cape Town, but could only score 13 and 6 in the Durban Boxing Day Test.
