Team India's number 1 player was out 2 days before the Adelaide Test!

IND vs AUS: The second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide from December 6, but before this match a big change has come out for Team India. Indian team's star spinner and pink ball specialist Ravichandran Ashwin has been ruled out of playing in this Test. According to media reports, Washington Sundar will be given a chance in the playing XI in place of Ashwin.

Washington Sundar will get priority

Ashwin's record in Adelaide has been excellent, but Team India has decided to give priority to Washington Sundar. According to the Times of India report, a BCCI source said that Sundar's chances of playing are 90 percent, and he will be given preference over both Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Sundar performed well in the Perth Test, where he took 2 wickets and also contributed in batting. Apart from this, in the warm-up match, Sundar proved his ability by scoring 42 runs with the pink ball and taking one wicket.

Ashwin's great record in Pink Ball Test

However, Ashwin's record in Pink Ball Test is very good. This off-spinner has taken 18 wickets with the pink ball so far, and his performance in Adelaide has also been excellent. The last time India played a Test match here, Ashwin took 5 wickets. So far he has taken a total of 16 wickets in Adelaide, which shows his excellent performance. Despite this, if Team India keeps Ashwin out of the playing XI, it will be a shocking decision.

Australia's dominance in Pink Ball Test

Talking about Pink Ball Test, Australia's record has been excellent so far. This team has played 14 Pink Ball Test matches so far, out of which they have lost only one. At the same time, India has played 4 Pink Ball Tests, out of which they faced one defeat from Australia itself. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see what will be the result of the match this time in Adelaide.

Conclusion

The second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is expected to be very exciting. However, Ashwin's absence could be a big blow for Team India, but Washington Sundar will have a great opportunity to prove his ability. Now it remains to be seen how the Indian team performs in this important match, especially in the case of the pink ball.
