Only one Indian batsman has scored a century in day-night Tests so far, which he did 5 years ago

Virat Kohli IND vs AUS 2nd Test: The second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will be played on December 6 at the Adelaide Oval Cricket Ground. Team India, led by Jasprit Bumrah, won the first Test match by 295 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the series. Captain Rohit Sharma is all set to make his comeback in the second Test match. This will strengthen the Indian team’s batting prowess. But the day-night Tests were not easy at all for the Indian team as India lost only one day-night Test and that too against Australia in Adelaide. In this situation, the Indian team has to come up with a better strategy to take the field.

Ishant Sharma took 9 wickets in two innings

India then declared against Bangladesh with 347 runs. On the other hand, Bangladesh’s batsmen were not able to play big innings in the match. Bangladesh were reduced to 106 in the first innings and 195 in the second. Ishant Sharma bowled brilliantly for India in both innings. He took a total of 9 wickets. He won the Man of the Match award for his outstanding performance.
