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

Virat Kohli had scored a double century in the last Nagpur Test match.

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 a lot of key phrases from the first paragraph will be used again later this week, Indian fans won’t mind another 6-wicket victory this time round as well. However, two changes which will be made to the above mentioned paragraph is a Test replacing a T20I in the absence of rainfall.

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.
