Xtra Time Web Desk: The Indian cricket team is gearing up for a crucial pink-ball Test series against Australia, with a two-day practice match against the Australian Prime Minister's XI from November 30 to December 1 at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. This match will provide the Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, the perfect opportunity to acclimatize to the pink ball and get used to the playing conditions before the second Test at the Adelaide Oval on December 6.

India currently leads the five-match Test series 1-0 and aims to overcome the ghosts of the past when they were dismissed for their lowest-ever Test score of 36 in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide. However, India has since won three out of their four pink-ball Tests.
