Big milestones are available for Australian stars Steve Smith and captain Pat Cummins to hunt during the Boxing Day Test against India, the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
With the series level at 1-1, both teams will be playing the highly-anticipated Boxing Day Test from December 26 onwards, with an aim to secure an all-important lead
Ahead of the Melbourne Test match, Steve Smith is just 191 runs shy from completing 10,000 Test runs. If he achieves the run mark, then he will become the fourth batter after Ricky Ponting, Allan Border and Steve Waugh to register 10,000 runs in the longest format of the game for Australia
On the other hand, Pat Cummins could also become the seventh Aussies bowler to claim 500 international wickets. Currently, in 212 matches, the speedster has snapped 492 wickets with an average of 24.53
Apart from this, if Cummins manages to bag 11 wickets, then it will make him the first-ever bowler to register 200 wickets in the history of the World Test Championship (WTC)
