Assam: Cricket fans in the state will witness a historic moment today. For the first time, cricket fans in the state will have a unique opportunity to enjoy domestic Test cricket. And in just a few hours, the long wait for this golden moment will come to an end.
Barsha has already hosted several international matches in the limited overs format. The first international match was played on 10 October between India and Australia in a Twenty20 match. The first ODI was played on 21 October.
Barsha, which will host the second match of the Test series between India and South Africa, will now be the country’s 30th Test venue. Naturally, this is a golden moment for Assam cricket. But it remains to be seen whether this golden moment will be sweeter in Barsha’s history and for the Indian team.
South Africa had already won the first match of the series at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata to take a 1-0 lead. India will have to win the Barsha Test anyway to avoid losing the series.
If this match is drawn or lost, India will lose the series. South Africa will win the Test series on Indian soil after 25 years. The first Test match in Barsha will be a historic and sad history for the Indian team and fans.
