Fri Dec 06 06:17:36 UTC 2024: ## India Eye Revenge in Adelaide Pink-Ball Test Against Australia

**Adelaide, Australia:** India will look to continue their dominant Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign when they face Australia in a crucial day-night Test match at the Adelaide Oval, starting this Friday, December 6th. This second pink-ball Test in Australia for India comes after their resounding 295-run victory in Perth, their largest ever Test win on Australian soil. The win, achieved under stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah, has boosted confidence heading into a match where India aims to overcome a historically poor record at the Adelaide Oval. In 13 previous Tests at the venue, India boasts only two wins, suffering eight losses and three draws.

The match holds added significance as India seeks to avenge their infamous 36 all-out collapse at Adelaide Oval in 2020. Captain Rohit Sharma, back in the side after the birth of his child, will bat in the middle order, allowing the successful opening partnership of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal to continue. Shubman Gill’s return from injury further strengthens India’s batting lineup.

The pink ball presents its own challenges, and India is aware that they must approach the match with renewed focus. Australia, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back after their heavy defeat in Perth. The Test will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and streamed live on Disney+Hotstar. The match begins at 9:30 AM IST on Friday, with the toss at 9 AM IST.
