India and Australia’s second test match: Pink ball expected to change history. The second Test match between India and Australia is being played at Adelaide Oval, which was being played at night. This match is very important for both the teams as India is leading Australia in the five-match series and another win can take them closer to winning the match. On the other hand, Australia desperately needs a win in this match so that they can match India in the match.
1. India’s confidence and historical context
The Indian team is full of confidence for this Test. India started the game brilliantly by defeating Australia in the first Test. Especially after defeating Australia in the Perth Test, the Indian team had improved their game a lot. But, this Test match also has a special historical reference. Adelaide Oval is the same ground where the Indian team was all out for just 36 runs in 2020, which has become memorable in the history of cricket. Now the Indian team is trying to return to this field, so that it can leave this embarrassing incident behind and make its grip stronger.
2. Captain Rohit Sharma’s return in this game and changes in batting order
India’s captain Rohit Sharma is returning to the team after holidays in this match. However, he has decided to push himself a little down in the batting order. Rohit will now bat at number 5 so that KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal can get a chance to open and both of them performed brilliantly in this Perth Test, which gave India a big win. On the other hand, Shubman Gill will also return to the team after recovering from a thumb injury, which will be an important news for the Indian team.

At the same time, it is very important for Australia to win this match so that they can level the series and after a confident start for India, it will be seen whether they are able to achieve success this time by leaving behind their old bitter experience in Adelaide.
