The second match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played at Adelaide Oval, which will be a day-night test. This match will start from 6th December. Let us tell you, last time when the day-night test was played between the two teams, the Indian team was all out for 36 runs. But this time Team India has started the series with a bang. India defeated Australia by 295 runs in the first test match. In such a situation, there will not be much change in the playing 11 of Team India. This means that at least 5 players will have a special debut in this match.
The return of Indian captain Rohit Sharma in this day-night test is considered certain. Due to personal reasons he could not play the first match. At the same time, Shubman Gill was not a part of the Perth Test due to a thumb injury. In such a situation, if he recovers on time, his playing is also certain. This means that with the return of Gill-Rohit, there may be a change in the batting order. If these two players come into the playing 11, the two players who played the Perth Test will have to sit out. Apart from this, 9 players can also be seen playing Adelaide Test.
If there are not more than 2 changes in the playing 11 of Team India, then at least 5 players will debut in the Pink Ball Test, that is, these players will play a day-night test match for India for the first time. These 5 players are Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana. These players had performed very well in the Perth Test, due to which they are the biggest contenders to play in the Adelaide Test.
Team India has played 4 pink ball test matches so far in its cricket history. During this period, the Indian team has won 3 matches and had to face defeat in 1 match. Team India had suffered this defeat only against Australia. Apart from this, India has won the rest of the teams' matches while playing at home. At the same time, Australia has played 12 pink ball test matches so far. Out of these, the Australian team has won only 11 matches and lost only 1 match. He had suffered this defeat against West Indies this year. That means Australia's record in the Pink Ball Test is much better than Team India.
