IT's that time of the tour Down Under again. The breathtaking evening skies of Adelaide and Test cricket under the lights with the pink-ball seaming around like nobody's business. The Indian team, and fans, wouldn't forget the last time they were here.
36 all out. While fans would never want to relive it again, back then, Ravi Shastri, who was the head coach of the team, had asked the team to wear their lowest Test score ever like a badge of honour. And boy, did they do. From arguably the lowest point of Indian cricket on the field in the last decade, they made it into what is perhaps the greatest Test series win for the country.
Four years on, as India are back in South Australia for yet another pink-ball contest, it is hard to say whether they will be looking at the scars of that match or the glory that followed. However, things are clearly different from 2020.
