Adelaide: Former India coach Ravi Shastri believes that India's lowest score in Adelaide in 2020 is now a thing of the past but this should remain in the minds of the players when Team India takes on Australia in the day-night Test from Friday. Shastri was India's coach in that series. The Indian team led by Virat Kohli was reduced to its lowest score of 36 runs in the second innings of the Adelaide Test, which Australia won by eight wickets.

The previous defeat will not matter.

After India's defeat, Australia was considered a strong contender to win the series but the visiting team made a brilliant comeback and won the four-Test series 2-1 to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Shastri told ICC (International Cricket Council) Review, 'I don't think this (defeat in Adelaide) will play any role but it should be in their mind because you know things happen very fast with the pink ball.'

India is leading 1-0 in the series.s

India, which is leading 1-0 in the five-match series, will take on the hosts in the second Test starting on Friday. Shastri said, "You must have felt that if things are not going in your favor in one session of the game and the bowling is good, then things can happen quickly."

This happened for the first time in four decades

Shastri said that India's defeat in the match was a strange thing and he had never seen the ball take the edge of the bat and go to the fielders so many times in his four decades of cricket. He said, 'What we did after those 36 runs - as I said at that time - I had never seen before and I said the same in the dressing room. I had never seen so many times the ball taking the edge of the bat while trying to play instead of missing the ball.'

Every ball took the edge of the bat.

Shastri said, 'And I have watched cricket for almost 40 years. And honestly, that was a session in which hardly any player played and missed the ball. If he did anything, the ball hit the edge of the bat. The ball was not missing the bat. You know, bowlers are (unfortunate)... that day it was just the batsmen's misfortune.' India leveled the series in Melbourne and played a tough draw in Sydney. The visiting team, troubled by injuries, achieved a historic series win by winning sensationally in Brisbane under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane.
