Record made in Melbourne test within 2 days
India vs Australia Melbourne Test Record: A test match is currently being played between India and Australia in Melbourne. So far the competition in the Boxing Day Test is going on evenly. However, only two days have passed and it remains to be seen who will prevail in the coming days. Meanwhile, the interesting thing is that India and Australia together have created a new record in Melbourne. After about 21 years, history has repeated itself. Which, if seen in a way, is very special for both the teams.
Australian team batted first and scored 474 runs.
Pat Cummins decided to bat first after winning the toss in Melbourne. The Australian team kept batting the entire first day and scored 311 runs on the first day. When Australia had lost 6 wickets on the first day, it was not expected that the team would score such a big score on the second day. The second day where Pat Cummins showed his batting prowess. Steve Smith also completed his century. This was the reason why the Australian team scored 474 runs in the first innings.
After 21 years, more than 300 runs were scored on the first two days of the Melbourne Test.
After this Team India came out to bat. The Indian team had a mixed day in a way. Sometimes the team was seen on the front foot and sometimes it was also seen on the back foot. By the end of the day’s play, India had scored 164 runs and lost 6 wickets. ​Overall, the score was more than 300 on both the first days. This feat has happened in Melbourne after about 21 years. Earlier, when there was a match between India and Australia in the year 2003-04, even then more than 300 runs were scored in the first two days. That means history has repeated itself after about 21 years. If we talk about earlier times, in the year 1924-25, in the Australia vs England match in Melbourne, a score of 300 plus was made on the first two days. For the first time this happened in the year 1910-11. Then the match was played between Australia and South Africa.
Team India suffered setbacks in the last half hour
If we talk about two days’ play, then when the second day’s play was about to end, about half an hour ago, India suddenly lost three wickets. Not only were established batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli out, but Akash Deep, who came in as the nightwatchman, also returned to the pavilion. Due to this, Team India has come on the back foot somewhere. However, India still has many strong batsmen and it should be expected that the Indian team will make a comeback on the third day.
