When the Indian team reached Indore, it was thought that it would beat Australia and win the Test series. But this did not happen. The Australian team surprised everyone by defeating India by nine wickets in the third match played at the Holkar Stadium and extended the wait for the host team to win the Test series and also put it in danger. The fourth match is to be held in Ahmedabad and if Australia wins in this match, then the series will be equal to 2-2. With this victory, Australia has done a great job of defeating India at home, which has happened very little. (BCCI Photo)
This is only India’s fifth Test defeat at home in the last 11 years. Earlier, India had lost only four Test matches at home since 2012-23. But Australia did this work in Indore and handed over a crushing defeat to India. (BCCI Photo)
When the England team, captained by Joe Root, came on a tour of India in 2021, it defeated India in the Test match played in Chennai. England won this match by a huge margin of 227 runs, but after that they lost the remaining matches and lost the series. (ICC photo)
Australia has defeated India twice out of these three. Earlier in 2016-17, when the Australian team came on a tour of India, India was defeated in the match played in Pune. Even then the captain of the team was Smith and this time also it is Smith. Pat Cummins has returned home due to his mother being ill and hence Smith has to captain. (BCCI Photo)
Before these two victories, India had lost at home to England. England defeated him by seven wickets in December 2012 at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. This feat was done by England under the captaincy of Alastair Cook. Before Kolkata, England had defeated India in Mumbai. England won 2-1 in this series. (File pic)
