It looks like India have left the demons of the past behind and have waltzed past the “36 all out” scare in Adelaide. The last time they played a Pink Ball Test in Adelaide in 2020, they were bundled out by the Aussies for just 36 runs in the 2nd innings of the match, registering their lowest-ever Test total. As they returned to the same venue for IND vs AUS 2nd Test, India looked more solid in terms of their batting approach and are well on their way to amassing a decent total.
IND vs AUS 2nd Test: India register highest score in Adelaide after 36 not out
India were bowled out for just 36 runs back in 2020, after amassing 244 runs in the 1st innings of the match. The combo of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins wreaked havoc on the Indian batters as the visitors recorded a new low. Cut to IND vs AUS 2nd Test at the same venue in December 2024, India have looked very comfortable so far in the Pink Ball game and marching towards a decent triple-figure total. India have crossed the 50-run mark in 15 overs and have lost only one wicket so far.
