‘This is absurd’: India’s extraordinary collapse leaves Twitter in disbelief
India faced a humiliating defeat against Australia with only 89 runs to defend. Updated: December 19, 2020 4:23:58 pm
The Indian cricket team on Saturday suffered the ignominy of being restricted to its lowest ever total in Test cricket, collapsing to 36/9 in the terminated second innings against Australia on the third morning of the first Day/Night Test.
India’s earlier lowest score was 42 at the Lord’s in 1974 against England, known in Indian cricket parlance as “Summer of 42”.
After a decent 53-run first innings lead, India suffered a humiliating defeat with only 89 runs to defend.
