Shubman Gill revealed India's strategy for the final over of the MCG win, expecting a slower delivery to be difficult to hit. Gill scored an unbeaten 104 off 77 balls in the five-wicket win over Australia. India's win in Melbourne was significant for their bid to win their first series in Australia in over a decade. The victory saw India take a 2-1 lead in the four-match series, with the final match set to be played in Sydney. India's performance has drawn comparisons with their 2001 tour of Australia, led by Sourav Ganguly.
