India Prepares For Day-Night Test Against England, Records To Change, India Stronger In Bengaluru

The second and final Test of the two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka will be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru from Saturday. This match between the two teams will be played as a Day-Night Test match. Team India, which has a great record so far in the Pink Ball Test, is ready for this match as well.

Amidst these preparations, captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are also practising fiercely. Virat is the only Indian batsman to have a century in a Day-Night Test match. Both the batsmen practised under the lights to find and set up the rhythm.

The BCCI has allowed 100 per cent spectators to enter the stadium for this match, so Virat has a great chance to score a century again in the Pink Ball Test in front of his home ground home spectators. Virat had scored his last international century in the Pink Ball Test against Bangladesh in 2019.

India have played two Day-Night Test matches at home so far and have won both within three days. This will be India’s fourth day-night Test match overall.

If the Indian team now wins the second test as well, then it will not only register its 11th consecutive win, but it will also be the first time in the history of cricket that the team will clean sweep in a series for the second time in a row. In the entire cricket history of India, no Indian team has ever made a clean sweep in two consecutive series across all formats.

A total of 18 Day-Night Tests have been played in the last five years and the results of all have come out. Two-thirds of these matches were over in four or less days. Only six out of 18 Tests lasted for five days, while the results of 12 Test matches came in four or less days.
