Summary: Virat set the tone for an intense session reflecting his focus and domination in the game.

Drama, heated arguments, and tactical mastery characterized the first day of the highly anticipated Boxing Day Test between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Virat Kohli led the assault, and his fierce on-field style made headlines and demonstrated why he is still a vital player in Indian cricket.

Kohli was heard saying in Hindi to pacer Mohammed, "Has ke baat nahi karna inse" (Don't talk to them laughingly), on the stump mic.

Siraj gave the order while chatting happily with Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne. It was obvious that Kohli wanted to keep up the lead and prevent the opposition from gaining any moral ground.

There were other strategic highlights from the Indian camp besides Kohli's furious approach. Additionally, it was heard that captain Rohit Sharma told spinner Ravindra Jadeja to take advantage of the surface. Rohit said, "Jaddu, ball bounce bhi ho raha hai, turn bhi ho raha hai," urging his bowler to take advantage of the favorable conditions.

The tense moments occurred during Australia's commanding morning session performance. The hosts reached 112 for 1 at lunchtime as debutant opener Sam Konstas startled the Indian attack with a scorching 60 off 65 balls.

The highlight of the day was when Kohli and Australian debutant Sam Konstas, 19, got into a heated argument. Unfazed by the situation, the young opener took the attack on India's bowlers with a brilliant half-century. He annoyed the Indian camp with his daring drives and ramp shots against Jasprit Bumrah.

A highly contested Test match at the MCG has been set in motion by Kohli's aggressive style and India's attempts to rally against a self-assured Australian lineup.
