The second Test of the Border-Gavaskar series is being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) between India and Australia. By the end of the third day of the Boxing Day Test, Team India had tightened their grip on the match. Ajinkya Rahane, who leads the side in the match, scored 112 and former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar praised the innings. Gavaskar believes Rahane’s century will be counted in the most important innings of the country’s cricket history after India’s embarrassing defeat in the first Test in Adelaide.

Gavaskar told the Seven Network that “this century is one of the most important centuries in the history of Indian cricket.” Rahane’s 112-run patient innings led India to a 131-run lead over Australia in the first innings, and the hosts finished the third day with 133 for six in the second innings.

Gavaskar said the innings sent a message to the home team that India were not kneeling despite the embarrassing defeat in the first match of the series. Former India captain Gavaskar said, “The key innings is the spirit of it. With such a return, a message has been sent to the opposing team. Even though the number dropped to 36 in the last match, this Indian team will not be able to kneel.” “That’s the message and that’s why I think it’s one of the most important centuries in the history of Indian cricket,” he said.
