The India Cricket Team will next take on Australia for the Pink Ball Test in Adelaide. Coming on the back of a strong win in Perth, the visitors are determined to turn back the tide after their 36-all put in Adelaide 4 years ago. Now, it is a different team India who is willing to go the distance. Here we check out the reasons why India will win the Pink Ball Test in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Strong Recent Performance
After the 3-0 whitewash at home against New Zealand, India have made a strong comeback. In the opening Test match in Perth, Team India inflicted a humiliating 295-run victory over the formidable opponent. Furthermore, India emerged victorious in the warmup match against Prime Minister XI.
This means India has fared well in the Pink Ball practice game and is ready to take on the opposition. With Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill back in the ranks, team India will be desperate to go out a seek a win against the Aussies.
Adaptation to Pink Ball Conditions
The prangs of the 36-all out still haunt India. Cheteshwar Pujara recently clarified that the team didn’t understand what was happening. He further added that whatever they did back then didn’t work.
But now things are different. India has adapted well for the Day and night Pink Ball Test. India played a warmup match and won the game against Prime Ministers XI by a margin of 6 wickets. This means India has now gone on to adapt well to the new conditions and will be keen to seek vengeance against the hosts.
Pitch and Weather Conditions
The Pitch and weather conditions will favor the Indian Cricket Team. India will be going out with their 4 pacer attack. The pitch report reveals it will provide assistance to the bowlers and will growingly be difficult for the batters. With the Australian batting lineup not at its best, it all works in favor of India.
India has a strong bowling attack who will be rampant in Adelaide. Furthermore, India’s batting strength is unparalleled. Adding more concerns to the Aussies is the return to form for Virat Kohli. The ace batter roared back to form with a tremendous unbeaten knock in the second innings of the Perth Test.
