The Indian team has taken a rest day in Canberra on Thursday ahead of their day-night match against the Prime Minister’s XI at Manuka Oval on Saturday and Sunday, with training set to resume on Friday. The team had a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese during their stay. India had just won the first Test against Australia by a comprehensive margin of 295 runs in Perth and thus have taken a 1-0 lead in the series. Led by Jasprit Bumrah in Rohit Sharma’s absence, India finally managed to dismiss Australia in the final session of the day four for 238, thereby sealing their fifth win in the last nine Tests in Australia.
