Jakie są najniższe wyniki testów w Indiach w Australii?

India is currently playing the first Test of the IND vs AUS Test Series in Perth. The team had a massive collapse in the initial overs, and at one point, the score was 73/6. India’s performance in the ongoing Test against Australia has stirred memories of their lowest scores in Test cricket. With the team battling to steady their innings, let’s take a look at the lowest scores for India against Australia on their soil in Test cricket.

The infamous 36 All-Out

India’s lowest-ever Test score was recorded on 17 December 2020, during the first Test in Adelaide. In the second innings, the team collapsed to just 36 runs, unable to withstand the fiery spells of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood. This devastating defeat not only handed Australia an easy win but also shook India’s confidence. However, the team responded with remarkable grit, winning the series 2-1 despite this setback.

Other notable collapses

1. 58 All-Out (Brisbane, 1947): In India’s first-ever Test series after independence, they were bundled out for 58 runs in the second innings against Australia. This early struggle highlighted their inexperience against a strong Australian team.
2. 67 All-Out (Melbourne, 1948): Facing the legendary Don Bradman’s team, India managed just 67 runs in a one-sided affair. It was another instance of Australia’s dominance over India in their formative years in Test cricket.

Lessons from history

India has experienced several low moments in their Test history, particularly against Australia. These instances highlight the challenges of facing quality fast bowling. However, history also showcases India’s strength and ability to bounce back. The Adelaide collapse of 2020 and the next series win are examples of how tough situations can spark great comebacks.
