IND vs AUS: This stadium is Australia's stronghold, can Team India enter the maze?

India vs Australia 1st Perth Test: Test series between India and Australia is going to start. The first match of the series is just a few hours away. The first match will be played in Perth. While on the one hand, Team India has reached here after losing the series against New Zealand at its own home ground, on the other hand, Australia has not played a Test match for a long time. But the biggest tension for the Indian team is that the tour to Australia has never been easy for them. Something similar can be seen this time too. Meanwhile, in Perth, where the match will be played, the Australian team is yet to lose. In such a situation, this stadium can be called the strong fort of Australia. But whether the Indian team will be able to overcome this cycle is a big question in itself.

In the year 2018, Team India was defeated in this stadium

The first match was played in the year 2018 at the Perth Stadium in Australia. Then a match was played between India and Australia. The Indian team performed brilliantly in this match, although they lost by 146 runs. After this, in the year 2019, Australia and New Zealand teams face each other. Here too the Australian team has managed to win by 296 runs. If we talk about the third match, the match will be played between Australia and West Indies in the year 2022. Australia won this match by 164 runs. The last time the teams of Australia and Pakistan met here in the year 2023. Australia then defeated Pakistan by a huge margin of 360 runs.

The Australian team has not lost even one of the four Tests.

Overall, it can be seen that Australia have won all four Test matches played here since 2018 and all the wins have come by runs, that too by huge margins. This means that whatever team is here chasing runs in the fourth innings, it will be no easy task for them to achieve even a small target. Now the big test for the Indian team will be how to penetrate this impregnable fortress of Australia.

The strength of Team India is almost half

India are not going into this match with their best players. Captain Rohit Sharma is absent from the first Test. Shubman Gill has also suffered a sudden injury and will not be able to play the first match. While Mohammad Shami has not been able to return to the team yet. These are players who could have definitely been a part of the playing XI if they were fit, but that is not happening. Now it remains to be seen how the Indian team will face Australia without its big players.
