If you have tickets to the Adelaide Oval game between Australia and India, you should definitely enjoy an overall experience that goes beyond cricket
Australia is set to host India for the second game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Adelaide Oval, a venue that once witnessed India getting bundled for an embarrassing 36 runs in 2020. That game was India’s first pink-ball day-night match on foreign soil, while the December 6 game would be India’s second pink-ball day-night match abroad, again at the Adelaide Oval.
For India, it will be all about getting revenge for the 2020 embarrassment, whereas for Australia, it is crucial to win the second game after losing the first by a record 295 runs in Perth. Therefore, fans can expect a cracking match, given that the first innings of both sides in Perth were also an intense affair between the two cricketing superpowers.
However, one should also look beyond cricket because Adelaide Oval is a historic venue that is also home to other sports and activities. Therefore, in case you have tickets to the November 6 game, do not return just by watching the Australia versus India clash.
Indulge in the interesting activities we have mentioned in the following paragraphs.
Want to get mesmerised by the best seats in the house? Take the RoofClimb Challenge! Start off with this adventurous activity, i.e., climbing on the roof of the Adelaide Oval. Of course, a guide will be there to help you climb the roof, and you will be provided with safety gear and a harness—completely safe. Once you reach the top of the roof, you will be wooed by a breath-taking view. Check if it is possible to climb in the evening because that would be a sunset you will never forget!
Experience a luxurious stay at the Oval Hotel. One of the newest additions to the Adelaide Oval stadium, this five-star hotel allows you to live inside the stadium. Some of the rooms offer a view of the field, but in case you do not get such a room, no worries because the dining and bar area also offers a direct view of the field. Imagine enjoying your favourite luxurious dishes during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Given the Adelaide Oval is one of the oldest stadiums in the world, it is a cauldron of history. Do you know during WWII, a game of American football was played at the stadium? Even when the world was going through a tragic episode, 25,000 people turned up to support the game. Furthermore, do not forget to click pictures in front of the Adelaide scoreboard because it has stood the test of time for 112 years and counting.
Finally, you can also take a tour of the Sir Don Bradman Museum. The museum comprises unique Bradman footage in the theatrette and several of his personal items, such as bats, balls, trophies, clothes, cricket gear, and more. The museum operates from 9 am to 4 pm every day except Christmas.
