The second Australia vs. India The test will be held at the Adelaide Oval. The match started on Friday (November 6). It is a day and night test and is played with the pink ball. Team India is currently leading the series after registering a resounding victory in the first Test in Perth.
Although the visitors were without their captain Rohit Sharma, they put up an impressive performance to win the first match of the series. India did not start the game on a good note as they were bowled out for just 150 runs. However, their players turned the game around by delivering a memorable performance.
Taking advantage of stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah’s five-wicket haul, India defeated Australia by just 104 runs. In the second innings, India scored 487/6 (declared) thanks to centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli. With an improbable target of 533 runs, Australia were bowled out for just 238 runs in the second innings, while India won the game by 295 runs.
High-flying India have received another big boost with the return of their captain Rohit Sharma. Apart from Rohit, Shubman Gill will also return to the team after a finger injury forced him to miss the first Test. With form and momentum on their side, India will also look to win the Adelaide Test.
Australia, on the other hand, will be desperate to turn things around after the heavy defeat in the first Test. They lost their last two test series at home against India and are looking to avoid further defeats. Australia will be without Josh Hazlewood for the second Test. The pacer has been sidelined with an injury and is likely to be replaced by Scott Boland.
