A strong team like India will have to leave the field with 36 runs, it may not have occurred to anyone. But the Indian team had to end the match on this shameful streak after being humiliated by Australia.

After scoring 244 runs in the first inning of the Adelaide Test, India went all 36 runs in the second inning with the best batting lineup in the world. Ajira won the match by 6 wickets in two and a half days!

This is India’s lowest score in test cricket. And in the 150-year history of test cricket, this score stands at number 7. Australia was knocked out 36 by England at Birmingham in 1902, 116 years ago. They have this shame in number 7.

New Zealand has the lowest execution rate in testing history. The Kiwis were eliminated by just 26 against England in Auckland in 1955. The next four scores are 30, 30, 36, 36, all on the same team: South Africa.

Previously, India’s lowest score in test cricket was 42. India was stigmatized in the Lord’s test on June 20, 1984. That team was led by Ajit Wadekar. Today, after 46 years, Virat Kohli, the number one hitter in the cricket world and the captain of India, seems to have relieved Ajit of that embarrassment by losing by 36 runs.
