The Indian cricket team is being discussed all over the cricket world. The Indian team has won 2 ODIs and 2 T20 World Cups so far. Apart from this, India is the only team that has played the final match of the World Test Championship twice. This time again the Indian team seems to be at the forefront in this race. But it is also a bitter truth that no team can perform well all the time. This is repeated again and again in the sports world.
In such a situation, today we are talking about the same moment when Team India had to face a shameful situation and the entire team lost its wickets on a small score. Let's take a look at this shameful performance of the Indian cricket team in all three formats.
Test cricket
The Indian cricket team was playing a Test cricket series on the Australia tour in 2020-21. The first Test match was played at the Adelaide ground. In this match, after taking a lead of more than 50 runs in the first innings, Team India collapsed when they came out to bat in the second innings. The sharp bowling of Australia's veteran bowlers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood did not allow any Indian batsman to control the crease.
The Indian cricket team lost 9 wickets for just 36 runs in the second innings. Mohammad Shami, who came to bat at number 10, also retired hurt and the entire team collapsed for 36 runs. In this match, no Indian batsman could touch the 10 run mark.
one day cricket
The final match of the Coca-Cola Champions Trophy 2000-01 was played between Team India and Sri Lanka. In this match played in Sharjah, Sri Lankan batsman Sanath Jayasuriya took the team to a score of 299 runs with the help of his explosive innings of 189 runs and gave India a target of 300 runs to win. The Indian cricket team, which came out to chase this target, had to face the ball of Chaminda Vasa. One after the other, India's great players got out. Neither Sachin Tendulkar nor Sourav Ganguly played in this match. The entire Indian team was out for 54 runs in just 26.3 overs.
T20 International cricket
In 2008-09, Team India was playing the only T20 match on the Australia tour. In this match, Australia's bowlers troubled Team India's batsmen a lot. Amidst falling wickets, Team India was all out for 74 runs in 17.3 overs. In reply, Australia achieved this target by losing only 1 wicket in 11.2 overs.
