Sydney Cricket Ground Test records

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2020/21 action will shift to Sydney this week as Australia will host India at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Both teams have won a match each in the 4-Test series.

The Indian cricket team recorded an 8-wicket win in the Boxing Day Test. The impressive victory came after Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins had reduced the visitors to their lowest score in Test cricket history as Australia won the first Test.

The fans will likely witness the return of Rohit Sharma and David Warner in the third Test. The openers have joined their respective squads ahead of the game at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

The Indian cricket team has not lost a Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground since January 2012. The last two IND v AUS Tests on this ground have ended in a stalemate.

India has played 12 Test matches against Australia in Sydney and registered only one win. That victory came in January 1978 when EAS Prasanna, BS Chandrashekhar, and Bishan Singh Bedi powered the visitors to an innings win.
