India Collapses to Lowest Test Score
India faced one of the worst nightmares at the Adelaide Stadium on December 19, 2020 (Saturday). They had started the day 62 runs ahead and with nine wickets in hand and with the prospect of batting for at least two of the remaining three days to knock Australia out. The country woke up early anticipating another step closer to a win and a lead in the Test series. But what unfolded was never before seen to this generation.
Jasprit Bumrah, who had come in as a night watchman after Prithvi Shaw’s dismissal, was out in the second over of the day and laid the motion for the nightmarish collapse. Cheteshwar Pujara, Mayank Agarwal and Ajinkya Rahane were all out with the score still reading 15. India went from 15/1 at one stage to 15/5. Captain Kohli departed four runs later. Wriddhiman Saha and Ravichandran Ashwin were out with India’s score on 26 runs and they folded eventually for 36.
Australia were set a 90-run target and they romped home with eight wickets in hand after just 21 overs. Joe Burns, who had struggled for form and had his place in question, scored an unbeaten half-century to lead his side to a win.
