India made the most of their good fortune of winning the toss on a flat pitch on Boxing Day with Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara hitting fifties. There are so many things that happened in the 1st day of Boxing Day Test and we are sure that you have missed these 10 extremely entertaining things.

Mayank Agarwal getting his maiden cap

Oh, what a great way to make a debut in International cricket. Playing a Boxing Day test at MCG is every cricketer's dream and India's new opener Mayank Agarwal is already living this dream.

Man of many hats -Captain, coach and commentator

Australia's co-captain Archie Schiller was definitely the show-stopper of today's game. Archie was enjoying his time with the Australian team and was found doing a lot of things on the field. He received the cap from his favorite player Nathan Lyon and then he also came out with Tim Paine for the toss. 

Ending a fight and starting a battle

That is the beauty of the Boxing Day Test! There is no better sight than Melbourne Cricket Ground filled with thousands of fans passionate about the game.

Not Boxing Day, it’s Archie Day!

Co-captain Archie Schiller steals the show at Boxing day!! He was sitting with the coaching staff of Australia, probably teaching them how to bowl.

If this is not confidence, then what is??

Look at this picture, look how Mayank Agarwal is facing the mighty Nathan Lyon. With sheer confidence, standing almost 4 feet ahead of crease, the debutant decided to go for a big hit.  

The most caring umpire!

Pat Cummins' bouncer hit Hanuma Vihari on his head, umpire Marais Erasmus became worried before making sure that Vihari was safe to continue.

Was he even watching the match?

While Kohli is still playing with Pujara and is expected to build a solid partnership, Indian cricket legend VVS Laxman came up with this!! 😆

Starc surprised everyone!

This time Mitchell Starc decided to bring something new to the table and bowled a good length kicker which brought Kohli to his knees and the ball rose so much that Paine failed to touch it despite jumping the highest he could.
