It was a memorable day for Ajinkya Rahane as he not only led India to a complete victory in the MCG test, but also became the first recipient of the prestigious Johnny Mullagh medal. The medal is a tribute to honor Australia’s first sports team to go on an international tour. Mullagh was also the leader of the 1868 Aboriginal tour to the UK. Mullagh took 245 wickets at an average of 10.00 and scored 1,698 runs at 23.65 in 45 games during the 47-game road trip.
