The Indian team started the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 against Australia in a great way. The India team won the first Test match of the series played in Nagpur by one innings and 132 runs. Now the second match of this Test series will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, where India’s team record in the Test format has so far been one-sided.
The spin bowlers’ dominance can be clearly seen in the second Test match of the series to be played in Delhi. Because the pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is made of black earth, the ball is not expected to bounce much here. In such a situation, facing the spin shooters of the Indian team may again become a big problem for the Kangaroo team.
If the test record of the Indian team is seen on the Delhi ground, then no opposition team has been able to win here for the past 36 years. In the year 2017, the last test match was played at this ground, which was against Sri Lanka. This match saw a brilliant innings of 243 runs under Virat Kohli’s bat. However, later this test match ended in a draw.
So far, the Indian team has played a total of 34 test matches at the Delhi ground out of which they won 13 matches while the team faced defeat in 6 matches. In the year 1987, the India team had to face 5 wicket defeat in the match against West Indies for the last time on this wicket.
If we talk about the history of the Australian team on the Delhi field, here they have played a total of 7 matches so far, out of which they have only been able to win 1. In the 1959 tour, the Kangaroo team defeated the Indian team by a inning and 127 runs at this field. Since then, where he had to face defeat in 3 matches, 3 matches ended in a draw. The Kangaroo team last played a test match at this ground during the 2013 tour, in which they had to face 6 wicket defeat.
