India vs Australia Perth Test: As the series between India and Australia is getting closer, its atmosphere is also being created. The Indian team has reached Australia. The first match of the five-Test series will be played from November 22. The first match will be held in Perth. Which is not a very old stadium, but the memories here have been quite bitter for the Indian team. The only fear is that the same old story may be repeated. When did India play a Test match in Perth before and what was its condition, let us tell you about it.
When the Indian team toured Australia in 2018, a test match was also held in Perth. This was the second match of the series. In this match played in December, the Indian team suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Australia by 146 runs. This was the situation when the then captain Virat Kohli had scored a brilliant century. But none of the other batsmen could do anything special and Team India had to face defeat.
Indian cricket team could not stand against Australia
The Australian team, batting first in this match, had scored 326 runs. No batsman had a century, but Marcus Harris, Aaron Finch and Travis Head scored half-centuries. After this, Team India could score only 283 runs in its first innings. This included Virat Kohli’s 123 runs. Apart from Ajinkya Rahane, no other batsman could even cross the 50 mark. Rahane played a valuable inning of 51 runs.
This time India has a chance to take revenge
After this, Australia scored 243 more runs in its second innings. After this, India had a big target, which Team India could not achieve. India’s second innings was limited to only 140 runs and the highest score by the Indian team was 30 runs, which was made by Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant. Now Team India will be seen playing the first match of the series at the same Perth Stadium. India will have a chance to avenge the defeat in 2018 and make a great start to the series.
