Who gets to sign Honors Board at the SCG?
The SCG honors a cricketer who scores a century or manages to take five wickets in a single innings or ten across both innings in a Test at this venue. The players, who achieve these feats, get to sign their names on the Honors Board. Pujara and Pant marked their names on the board in the away dressing room.
