Bitter memories of 2020 defeat
India played the Pink Ball Test on this ground in Adelaide in 2020, in which Team India had to face defeat against Australia by 8 wickets. In this match, the Indian batting order was completely disintegrated, and the team was reduced to just 36 runs. This is the lowest score in the history of Indian cricket, which is difficult to forget even today.
It will not be easy for the Indian team to win the Pink Ball Test in Adelaide. The Australian team is considered very strong in home conditions. But the 295-run victory in Perth has shown that India has come with the intention of creating history this time.
New hopes under the leadership of Rohit Sharma
The confidence of the Indian team has increased due to the big win in the Perth Test. The team looks stronger with the return of regular captain Rohit Sharma. Under the leadership of Rohit, Team India would not only want to avenge the defeat of 2020 by registering a win in Adelaide, but would also like to create history by winning the Pink Ball Test for the first time on foreign soil.
