David Warner storms into record book after bagging rare milestone during Boxing Day Test against South Africa

Australia's star all-rounder Cameron Green justified his record-breaking signing in the IPL 2023 by snaring a cracking fifer to annihilate South Africa batters in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG on Monday (December 26). Green, who was roped in by the Mumbai Indians for a whopping Rs 17.5 crore in the just concluded IPL 2023 auction, rode on stellar 5/27 to rip through the Proteas' batting line up to reduce them to a lowly 189. Yet again the Dean Elgar's side saw a batting collapse as this time the last five wickets fell for just 10 runs.
