India vs Australia Prime Minister's XI Test: Live Updates Delayed Due to Persistent Rain

Live updates for the India vs Australia Prime Minister's XI Test match are being affected by heavy rain in Canberra, which has been ongoing since midnight. As the weather conditions remain unfavorable, it appears increasingly unlikely that play will occur today.

The two-day pink-ball match serves as a critical preparation for India's second Test against Australia in Adelaide, set to begin on December 6. With captain Rohit Sharma and opener Shubman Gill returning to the squad, fans are eager to see how the batting lineup will take shape.

As both teams are expected to each bat for a day (maximum 90 overs), the results from this warm-up match will offer insights into India’s strategy for the upcoming Test. There's speculation that KL Rahul may drop down the batting order, though his placement will depend on team management decisions.
