India-Australia Second Test: Key Information
The Indian cricket team is gearing up for the second Test match in Australia, scheduled to start on December 6 in Adelaide. The team has received a significant boost with the return of captain Rohit Sharma and the recovery of Shubman Gill from injury.
Day-Night Test Schedule
The second Test match will be a day-night test, played with a pink ball. The start time for this match will be different from the first Test, with the Indian time beginning at 9:30 am. This means that the match will take place throughout the day in India, concluding around 5:30 pm, which would be nighttime in Australia.
India’s Experience with Day-Night Tests
This will be India’s second day-night test on foreign soil. Although the team has a limited experience with day-night tests, it has won all three pink ball tests played at home. However, India lost its first pink ball test against Australia. The Australian team, on the other hand, has more experience playing with pink balls and will be seeking revenge after losing the first Test.
Team India’s Chances
The return of Rohit Sharma, one of the world’s most destructive openers, is a significant boost for the Indian team. Shubman Gill’s recovery from injury is also a positive development. With the team’s morale high after winning the first Test without Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, India is ready to take on the challenge. The match is expected to be intense and exciting, with both teams eager to win.
