Η Ινδία και η Αυστραλία είναι έτοιμες για το τεστ ροζ μπάλας στην Αδελαΐδα, αλλά ξέρετε τι συνέβη την τελευταία φορά που η Ινδία έπαιξε εκεί; Μάθετε γιατί οι Ινδοί οπαδοί ανησυχούν για τον επερχόμενο αγώνα.
India and Australia are all set to meet once again at the same ground where they have faced each other many times in the past. With both sweet and sour moments having come at this ground in past Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, recent years have seen some shocking results, especially for India. This is why, even after India’s dominant win over Australia by 295 runs in Perth, everyone is eagerly waiting to see how India will fare this time against Australia in Adelaide, especially with the pink ball, a format in which Australia has had the best outcomes over the years. But why are Indian fans nervous about this upcoming Adelaide Test?
What happened last time India played a pink ball test against Australia?
Now, if we look at what happened the last time India played in Adelaide against Australia in a Test match. Once again, it was a pink-ball Test in 2020, and India suffered one of their worst defeats. What made it worse was that India was bowled out for just 36. No Indian batter managed to reach double figures, a rare and disheartening record in Test cricket. Although in the first innings, India had a promising start with Virat Kohli’s 74, which helped India reach 244, Australia replied with just 191, thanks to R. Ashwin’s four wickets. However, what happened in the second innings came as a shock to Indian fans on the third day of the game. Rightly said, they could not withstand Australia’s pace attack. Josh Hazlewood took five wickets, and Pat Cummins’ four wickets helped Australia dismiss India for an all-time low score.
What happened last time Australia played a Pink Ball Test in Australia?
If we look at the Australian camp, who have been a formidable side in pink-ball Tests, having won 11 out of 12, it’s interesting that their last pink-ball Test didn’t end well, as the team lost to the West Indies, at home, at their known fortress, the Gabba. It was Shamar Joseph’s 7 wickets that snatched the game from Australia’s favour.
