IND vs AUS: Team India's record strong with pink ball, but still why is Rohit's army nervous?

Team India Pink Ball Record: Team India has started the Border-Gavaskar series with a resounding win in Perth. The performance of the Indian team in the first test under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah was excellent. While the performance of Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli was strong in batting, the fast bowlers were successful in spoiling the gathering at Optus Stadium. However, now the real test of Team India is to be held in Adelaide. The second match of the series is to be played with pink ball. Although the Indian team's record in day-night test has been amazing, still Rohit's army is nervous.

What is Team India's record with pink ball?

The Indian team's record with the pink ball has been strong. Team India has played a total of four test matches with pink ball so far, out of which the Indian team has won three. At the same time, the team had to face defeat in only one match. The only defeat that India has received came on the same ground in Adelaide, where the second Test match of the series is to be played. In the Test match played on this ground in the year 2020, the entire Indian team was bundled out after scoring only 36 runs, which is also the team's lowest score till date in Test cricket. In this match, the Indian team had to face a crushing defeat by 8 wickets. Let us tell you that this test match was also played with pink ball. This is the reason why the Indian team is somewhat nervous before facing the Kangaroos in the day-night test.

India has played 3 Day-Night Tests at home, in which they have a perfect record.
However, in the only Pink-ball Test away from home, in Australia, they suffered a big defeat, in which they were bowled out for 36 runs in an inning as well.

Australia's amazing record

Australia's record with the pink ball has been amazing. The Kangaroo team has taken the field 12 times so far in the day-night test, out of which the team has tasted victory in 11 matches. Australia has faced defeat only once in the Pink Ball Test. This is the reason that despite the defeat in Perth, the Kangaroo team will enter Adelaide with high spirits.

Picture was superhit in Perth

Team India's performance in Perth was excellent. Under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah, Team India performed strongly and defeated Australia by 295 runs. After being all out for 150 runs in the first innings, the Indian bowlers bundled out the entire Kangaroo team for just 104 runs. After this, in the second inning, with the help of Yashasvi Jaiswal's 161 and Virat Kohli's century, Team India scored 487 runs on the score board. Chasing the target of 534 runs, the entire Australian team was limited to 238 runs.
