India’s next match is in Adelaide, where they will play their fifth Pink Ball Test against Australia on December 6. Team India started the IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Test series strongly, securing a commanding 238-run victory in the opening Test in Perth. All attention now shifts to the second Test in Adelaide, which is expected to be another thrilling encounter.
Leading the five-match series 1-0 after an impressive 295-run win in Perth, India will aim to build on their momentum and extend their advantage to 2-0 in Adelaide.
When is India’s next match in Australia?
India and Australia will take on each other in a Day/Night Test at Adelaide Oval from December 6 to December 10. Indian captain Rohit Sharma is likely to return in the second Test after missing the first Test to give time to his family, who have welcomed a new member into their lives.
India’s pink ball Test record
India has an impeccable record in the three-day/night Tests they have played at home. However, their sole pink-ball Test on foreign soil, played in Australia, ended in a crushing defeat where they were bowled out for just 36 runs in one innings.
