Indian Cricket Team: Team India is to tour Australia in November this year. On this tour of about 2 months, 5 Test matches will be played between the two teams. For the first time in the history of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, there will be 5 matches between the two teams, including a day-night Test match. This day-night match will be played at Adelaide Oval between 6-10 December. India's performance in the day-night Test against Australia has been very poor, but this time Team India does not want to leave any stone unturned, so they have taken a big decision.
Team India's special plan for Day-Night TestTeam India is going to go for the Test series for the first time after the 2020-21 Australia tour. But on the last tour, the performance of the Indian team in the day-night Test was very poor. In that day-night Test match played in Adelaide, the Indian team scored 244 in the first innings and started the match well. The Indian bowlers also stopped Australia at 191 runs in the first innings. But in the second innings, the entire Indian team was all out for 36 in 21.2 overs.To avoid such a mistake in Australia this time, Team India has decided to play a day-night two-day practice match before the Pink Ball Test. Let us tell you, Team India will play a day-night practice match against Australia's Prime Minister 11 in Canberra between 30 November and 1 December. Team India has not played any day-night test for the last 2 years, so this practice match will be very important for the preparation of Indian players. This series will be the first Test series of Gautam Gambhir's tenure which will be played outside India.
Team India's performance in Day-Night TestTeam India has played only 4 day-night Test matches so far. During this time, 3 day-night Test matches have been held in India and Team India has won all these matches. At the same time, Team India has played only one day-night Test match outside India, which was held in Australia and it was also defeated. On the other hand, Australia has played 12 day-night Test matches so far. During this time, they have won 11 matches and lost 1 match. This defeat was against West Indies this year.
