IND vs AUS
IND vs AUS: The third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is currently being played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. The game of the second day of this match is over. After being all out for 109 runs in the first innings, Team India got Australia all out for 197 runs in the very first session of the second day. It seemed that the Indian team is making a comeback in this match. But even in the second innings, our batting could not do anything special and Team India got all out for 163 runs. In such a situation, Australia has got a target of only 76 runs to win this match. Getting a win for Team India is almost impossible now, but if they manage to do so, history will be created.
Team India one step away from creating history
If the Indian team saves 76 runs at the Holkar Stadium, then a big record will be destroyed. In fact, if this happens, it will be the smallest score defended by any team in Test cricket. Not only this, Team India can break the 141-year-old record by doing this. The record of defending the smallest score in Test cricket is in the name of England. He saved 85 runs in the fourth innings against Australia in 1882.
Indian batting failed
Talking about the batting of the Indian team, it could not do anything special in the second innings as well. After being reduced to 109 in the first innings, Team India could not cross 200 in the second innings as well. The Indian team got a lead of only 75 runs. Apart from Cheteshwar Pujara’s 59 runs from the Indian team, Shreyas Iyer scored an inning of 26 runs. At the same time, 16 runs came off the bat of Ravichandran Ashwin. Apart from this, 15 unbeaten runs were scored by Akshar Patel and 12 runs by captain Rohit Sharma.
India lead in the series
After winning the first two matches of this series, the Indian team, which took a 2-0 lead, is now completely on the backfoot in the third match. Australia need only 76 runs to win this match. To get the ticket for the World Test Championship, the Indian team needs to win 3 matches of this series.
