The Indian team preferred to rest in Canberra on Thursday. With the day-and-night game against the Prime Minister’s XI scheduled at the Manuka Oval on Saturday and Sunday, Rohit Sharma’s men will resume training on Friday.
Meanwhile, the team also met Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
India secured a remarkable 295-run victory over Australia in the first Test in Perth to go 1-0 up in the series.
India, led by Jasprit Bumrah in the absence of regular captain Rohit, dismissed Australia for 238 in the final session of day four.
This victory marks India’s fifth win and just two losses in its last nine Tests in Australia, dating back to the 2018-19 tour.
