IND vs AUS: Light Bangalore rains unlikely to save Kohli and his men
Rainy days have begun to make an appearance over Bangalore. In fact, the city recorded light to moderate rains of 8 mm during the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Monday. However, the rainfall activity was observed during the late-night hours.
Thus, the third day of the ongoing test match between India and Australia was not affected. Rains could not play a spoilsport. In fact, before the arrival of rain gods, the Indians have claimed victory against the Aussies in the second test match.
India in the second innings had managed to somehow score a flurry of runs, all thanks to Cheteshwar Pujara’s 92. KL Rahul at 51 and Ajinkya Rahane at 52 were also main contributors in helping India score 274 runs. On Day 4, the entire Australian Team has been sent back to the pavilion after scoring a mere 112 runs. Kohli must have been proud of the way his boys have performed during the second innings.
Bangalore has been witnessing cloudy weather conditions during the past 24 to 48 hours. So much so that the capital city of Karnataka witnessed traces of rainfall during the evening hours today.
As per weathermen at Skymet, the rainfall activity is expected to continue over the state capital today as well as tomorrow.
Currently, the Indian Cricket team is playing its test match out of the four-test series against Australia in Bangalore. The first installment has already been won by the Kangaroos and the second test doesn’t look great for India either. While Kohli and his boys may be waiting for a miracle, rain gods may cast a spell tomorrow and day after tomorrow.
The first day wasn’t gold for the Indian Cricket Team, so much so that the Indian Cricket Team was all out at 189. However, the bowlers performed decently by restricting the Aussies to 276. Currently, the men in blue are batting and they are 120/3. Virat Kohli was bowled out at a mere 15 runs.
As far as the rainfall activity is concerned, the city is expected to receive light rains during the evening hours but the rain may not be able to affect the match today. However, one or two spells of rain are likely tomorrow as well as on March 8 which may affect the game. This may be the only miracle that is likely to save India from a massive loss.
