Sombre Sunday: India complete unwanted hat-trick on December 8 in cricket


December 8 has proven to be an unlucky day for the Indian cricket team, as they have suffered three consecutive defeats on this day. This unwanted hat-trick has left fans and players alike wondering if there’s a curse at play.

The first of these defeats came in 2013, when India lost to South Africa in a one-day international (ODI) match. The match was played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, and India suffered a comprehensive defeat, losing by 141 runs.

The next year, on the same day, India faced off against Australia in a Test match at the Brisbane Cricket Ground. The match ended in a crushing defeat for India, with Australia winning by 4 wickets. This loss was particularly painful, as India had high hopes of winning the series.

In 2019, India once again suffered a defeat on December 8, this time against the West Indies in a T20I match. The match was played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, and India lost by 8 wickets. This defeat was a shock to fans, as India had been in good form leading up to the match.

As India looks to break this curse, fans can only hope that the team will come out stronger and more determined to win on December 8. Will India be able to turn their fortunes around on this unlucky day, or will the curse continue to haunt them? Only time will tell.
