Hyderabad: After securing a victory in the series opener in Perth, the Indian cricket team will be aiming to avenge their previous defeat in the day-night Test at this particular venue when they were bowled out for their lowest team total of 36 during the 2020-2021 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide.
India will give them the best chance to emerge triumphant in the Pink ball Test as they are already leading the series by 1-0 and their regular captain Rohit Sharma has also joined the squad.

Shubman Gill will also be available for the selection for the second Test after missing the opener due to a thumb injury. Jasprit Bumrah, who led the side in the absence of Rohit, captained the Indian team to a 295-run dominating victory in Perth in his second Test as skipper.

With Rohit Sharma returning to the lineup, few changes are expected. He is most likely to sacrifice his opening spot for in-form KL Rahul, who scored fifty in the second innings of the Perth Test.
This is more than Australia V India. It’s a chance to witness one of the greatest rivalries in International Cricket for the BGT.
