India vs Australia 2nd Test: Don't think Adelaide debacle of 2020 will haunt India in upcoming pink-ball Test, says Shastri

India's historic comeback from Adelaide disaster to win Border-Gavaskar Trophy under Rahane's captaincy against Australia.

The Adelaide debacle of 2020 is history now but it should be at the back of players' minds when they take the field in the day/night Test against Australia, reckons Ravi Shastri, who was India's coach in that series.

India, under Virat Kohli, were shot out for their lowest-ever Test total of 36 in the second innings of the Adelaide Test that Australia won by eight wickets.

Bruised and battered, and with hardly anyone giving them a revival chance, India staged a remarkable comeback to win the four-Test series 2-1 to clinch the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

"I don't think it (Adelaide drubbing) will play any role but it should be at the back of their mind because you know things happen very quickly with a pink ball," Shastri, who was the coach of the India team during the series, told The ICC Review.

A 1-0 lead in pocket, India will clash with the hosts in the second Test, starting Friday.

"You realise that in a session of play, if things don't go your way and the bowling is good, things can happen rapidly." Shastri added that India's defeat in the match was a freak thing and that he had not seen so many nicks flying to the fielders in his four decades of cricket.
