Before the three-match ODI series against Australia on home soil last month, Kohli said, “We are ready for the challenge – whether it is Gabba or Perth … it doesn’t matter to us.” It has become a very exciting part of any Test series and we are ready to play the Day Night Test.

India had rejected Australia’s request to play the Day Night Test in Adelaide in 2018-19 and cited a lack of experience thereafter. Meanwhile, it is learned that India will play a series of three ODIs and three T20 Internationals in Sri Lanka after the IPL.
