Three reasons why BCCI might have opted against Day-Night Test vs Australia

#2 Desperation for away wins

2nd Sunfoil Test: South Africa v India, Day 4

India have always struggled outside the subcontinent. Without the proper resources to succeed in such conditions, they have been consistently poor.

Being the no.1 ranked side in the world, India will try to prove a point and secure as many away wins as possible to retain their top spot. India do have a strong side this time around but playing a day-night Test will affect their chances to a large extent.

Adelaide has always been a very good batting strip. One of India’s famous victories in Australia came in Adelaide in 2003 and they will be looking to repeat the same feat this year. Also, Adelaide is one of those wickets in Australia which is conducive to spin and playing with a traditional red ball brings the Indian spinners into the game and gives them a massive chance to emerge victorious.
