- Steve Smith scored a commanding 140 runs, showcasing his form before being dismissed in an unusual fashion as the ball rolled off his pads onto the stumps.
- Pat Cummins contributed significantly with both bat and ball, scoring a quick 49 runs and dismissing Indian captain Rohit Sharma cheaply after his promotion to opener failed.
- India's Yashasvi Jaiswal played a resilient knock of 82 but was run out during a mix-up with Virat Kohli, triggering a collapse from 153/2 to 159/5 in just 20 minutes.
- Virat Kohli showed initial discipline but fell to a familiar outside-off-stump trap, leaving India trailing by 310 runs at stumps on Day 2.
- Sam Konstas became a fan favorite at the MCG, entertaining the crowd with his antics while fielding near the lively Bay 13 section.
