Sat Dec 07 11:04:41 UTC 2024: **Adelaide Test Breaks 12-Year Attendance Record**
**Adelaide, Australia –** The second Test match between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval smashed a 12-year-old attendance record on its opening day. A crowd of 36,255 spectators flocked to the venue, surpassing the previous record of 35,081 set during the 2011-12 series. This follows record-breaking attendance figures for the first two days of the Perth Test earlier in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
The impressive turnout comes as India, having already won the first Test in Perth, maintains a strong position in the series. This Adelaide match marks India’s first pink-ball Test at this venue, a significant event given their previous low score of 36 runs in a pink-ball Test against Australia at the same ground in 2020. Cricket Australia reports that the Perth Test also achieved record attendance figures, with a total of 96,463 spectators across the four-day match.
