Team India is in Australia to play the Test Series.
00:03
The cricket history of Australia and India is very old.
00:07
Do you know when Team India went to Australia to play the Test Series for the first time?
00:13
In 1947-48.
00:16
Yes, that much earlier.
00:17
And what all happened in that series?
00:20
The Australia-India Series of 1947-48.
00:32
And the most special thing was that it was the first cricket team of independent India.
00:37
Because a few days ago, the country got independence.
00:41
The second interesting thing is that Team India went to Australia by flight.
00:45
In today's time, this will seem common to you.
00:48
But this was the first team that went to Australia to play any series by flight.
00:54
This is a very unique thing in that era.
00:57
And Team India was playing a Test match against Australia for the first time.
01:01
Before that, Team India played all 10 Test matches against England.
01:07
And before the start of the Test matches, Team India played against all five states of Lala Amarnath.
01:15
That is, Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
01:22
And in Brisbane, Team India played a 4-day match against Sir Don Bradman's Australia XI.
01:30
The two most important things of this match were
01:34
Bill Brown was run out after giving a warning to Vinu Mankar to come out of the crease on the non-striker's head.
01:41
Later, when he did the same in the Test match, the way to get out of it got the name of Mankat.
01:48
And the second most important thing was that Don Bradman had scored his 100th wicket in the first-class ticket against Team India in this match.
01:57
While Lala Amarnath was in excellent form in the Tour matches, he could not maintain his form in the Test matches.
02:05
He was not able to make any special progress.
02:07
Still, it was a record to make 1000 plus runs on this tour.
02:11
It was a pity that this Test series against Australia, the first Tour of Independent India, was lost by 4-0.
02:22
Bradman scored 715 runs with an average of 178.75 and scored more than 100 runs with Lin Sehasset.
02:30
Vijay Hazare scored 429 runs for India.
02:34
Only Don Bradman scored more than him in that series.
02:38
Meanwhile, Vinu Mankar also scored 306 runs with 2 wickets and was at number 2 for Team India.
02:47
But in all these years, everything has changed.
02:50
Team India, which had lost its first series from Australia by 4-0, is one of the biggest teams in cricket today.
03:01
And now the Test series against Australia is about to start.
03:05
It will be a tough fight.
03:07
However, in the last few years, especially in the Test matches, Team India's record against Australia has not been that good.
03:16
Especially in the Test Championship final, Australia defeated Team India.
03:21
You must remember the World Cup matches.
03:23
That's why it's going to be very special.
03:25
And Team India will have to work hard if they want to beat Australia at home.
