Nagpur Cricket Stadium Test records India team: Nagpur Test match records India all match result list

It was just about four and a half months ago when India and Australia had locked horns against each other in a T20I at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium. A rain-affected match which lasted just over 15 overs had witnessed India registering a 6-wicket victory on the back of captain Rohit Sharma’s match-winning knock.

While India will be playing a Test match in Nagpur after more than half-a-decade, Australia will be playing a Test match in the city after more than 14 years.
