IND vs AUS: The second match of the Test series between India and Australia is going to start from 6 December.

Adelaide and Pink Ball: Historical Perspective

The Pink Ball Test in Adelaide has its own significance. The Indian team had earlier played the Pink Ball Test here in 2020, in which it had to face a humiliating defeat. In that match, the Indian team was bundled out for just 36 runs in the first innings, which is India's lowest score in the history of Test cricket. Although the Indian team has performed brilliantly in the Pink Ball Test on their home grounds after this, but they are waiting for their first win in this format in Australia.

Australia's Pink Ball Record

Australia has played 12 Pink Ball Tests so far, out of which they have won 11. Most of these matches have been held on Australian soil. However, in December 2024, West Indies created history by defeating them at the Gabba ground. In that match, the excellent performance of West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph made Australia taste defeat. This is the only instance when Australia had to face defeat in the Pink Ball Test.

Important role in the World Test Championship (WTC)

This match will be played under the World Test Championship (WTC), which increases its importance further. After losing the first Test, the Australian team would like to make a comeback in the series by winning this match. On the other hand, this match is extremely important for the Indian team to maintain the top position. If India loses this match, its position in the WTC points table may weaken, which may affect their chances of reaching the final.

Indian team's challenge

The Adelaide ground and the effect of the pink ball will be a big test for the Indian batsmen and bowlers. It will be challenging for the Indian team to deal with the pace and bounce of the pitch and face the Australian fast bowlers. At the same time, the Indian bowlers will have to adopt a precise strategy against the Australian batsmen.

Waiting for the result

Cricket lovers around the world will be watching this high-stakes match. Will the Indian team under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma be able to create history in Adelaide, or will the Australian team maintain its supremacy? It will be exciting to watch.
