Team India has started the Border-Gavaskar series with a spectacular win in Perth. The performance of the Indian team in the first test under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah was excellent. While Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli have performed well in batting, the fast bowlers have created a stir at the Optus Stadium.
Now the real test of Team India is going to be held in Adelaide. The second match of the series is to be played with pink ball. But despite the excellent record of the Indian team in the day-night test, Rohit’s army is nervous.
What is Team India’s record with pink ball?
The Indian team’s record with the pink ball has been strong. Team India has played a total of four test matches with the pink ball so far, out of which the Indian team has won three. The team has lost only one match. India suffered its only defeat on the same ground in Adelaide, where the second Test match of the series is to be played. In the Test match played on this ground in the year 2020, the entire Indian team was out for just 36 runs, which is also the team’s lowest score so far in Test cricket. In this match, the Indian team had to face a crushing defeat by 8 wickets. Let us tell you that this test match was also played with pink ball. This is the reason why the Indian team is a little nervous before facing the Kangaroos in the day-night test.
Australia’s amazing record
Australia’s record with the pink ball has been excellent. The Kangaroo team has played the Day-Night Test 12 times so far, out of which the team has won 11 matches. Australia has faced defeat only once in the Pink Ball Test. This is the reason that despite the defeat in Perth, the Kangaroo team will enter Adelaide with enthusiasm.
Great performance of Team India in Perth
Team India’s performance in Perth was excellent. Under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah, Team India performed strongly and defeated Australia by 295 runs. After being all out for 150 runs in the first innings, the Indian bowlers bowled out the entire Kangaroo team for just 104 runs. After this, in the second innings, with the help of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 161 and Virat Kohli’s century, Team India scored 487 runs on the score board. Chasing the target of 534 runs, the Australian team was all out for 238 runs.
