India will take on Australia in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) at the Adelaide Oval from December 6. The visitor has a 1-0 series lead after its 295-run win in Perth.
Like the previous installment of the BGT in 2020/21, the encounter in Adelaide will be a day-night match. India has played four day-night Tests, winning three — with the sole loss coming in the 2020 Adelaide Test.
The three wins in pink-ball Tests have come against Bangladesh, England, and Sri Lanka, with the team yet to win an away Test under the lights.
