Their lowest overall is 36 against Australia in a pink-ball Adelaide Test in 2020.Trolling India for their disastrous batting collapse, Cricket Australia shared a highlights from India's 36-all from 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series on social media with a caption, "Is 'All Out 46' the new 'All Out 36'?"Former England captain Michael Vaughan also trolled India and shared, "Look on the bright side Indian fans .. at least you have got past 36 .."Under overcast condition, Henry exhibited great control on line and length to pick 5-15 and also reached the landmark of 100 Test wickets. O'Rourke, playing in his first Test in India, made a fantastic impression with his awkward bounce and mixing of lengths to pick 4-22 while veteran pacer Tim Southee took a scalp.With conditions heavily favouring an accurate New Zealand bowling line-up and backed up brilliantly by their fielders, India didn’t show the desired batting application to grind it out against swing or seam and fell without doing much.
