IND vs AUS 2nd Test Live: Yashasvi out on the very first ball
Yashasvi Jaiswal was out LBW on the very first ball of the day-night test. Mitchell Starc sent him to the pavilion. Starc’s ball hit the leg stump, took leg swing and hit the pad. He talked to Rahul standing at the non-striker’s end for DRS, but Rahul refused. In this way India got a big blow on the very first ball. Yashasvi had scored a century in the second innings of the last Test. Currently Shubman Gill and KL Rahul are at the crease. Gill also hit two fours on the fourth and fifth balls of the over.
FIRST BALL OF THE TEST!

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Live: Day night test with pink ball from today
To get victory over the Australian team, captain Rohit Sharma has sacrificed his regular opening order in the pink ball Adelaide Test. Rohit himself announced on Thursday that in the day-night Test starting from Friday, not him but the Perth Test winning pair Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul will open. He will field in the middle order. However, Rohit did not say at which order he will bat, but it is believed that he can come to bat at number five, while Rishabh Pant can bat at number six. Rohit has been opening in Tests since 2019, this change gave a new turn to his Test life. The Indian team will now try to break the dominance of the Australian team with the pink ball at the Adelaide Oval. Just like it had defeated never-losing Australia by 295 runs at Optus Oval in Perth. The Australian team has never lost a test with the pink ball even in Adelaide. Well, batting with the pink ball will be a challenge in Adelaide.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Live: Decision taken for the team
Rohit, who did not play in the Perth Test due to paternity leave, took the difficult decision of entering the middle order. Rohit said, we want results and success. Both these batsmen had performed brilliantly in Perth. I sat at home and watched his batting. Rahul played brilliantly in the opening and he deserves to open at this time. We don’t need to change the opening. However, things may change in the future. Rohit also said that it is not easy for him personally to leave the opening and enter the middle order, but it means a lot for the team.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Live: Difficult for Ashwin-Jadeja to play
Apart from Rohit, Shubman Gill is also going to return in the second test. He will play in place of Devdutt Padikkal. He can bat at number three in the second test. Rohit will replace Dhruv Jurel in the team. Apart from these two, there seems to be no scope for any other change. Adelaide’s pitch also helps the spinners, but Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja can be kept away from this Test like Perth. Rohit justified the decision of not including both of them in the Perth Test, but he also said that both of them still have a role to play in this series. Rohit said, it is always a difficult decision to keep senior players like Ashwin and Jadeja out of the team, but considering the circumstances, this decision was taken in the interest of the team. These two spinners together have taken 855 wickets in Tests. Washington Sundar is expected to replace these two in Adelaide.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Live: Batting will be a challenge in the evening
India has definitely won the Perth Test, but the match with the pink ball in Adelaide will not be easy. Batting this ball is always challenging, especially in double light in the evening after the sun sets. Then somewhere in the Indian team, it will also be in the mind that in the day-night test played on the same ground in 2020, the Indian team was reduced to its lowest score of 36 runs in the second innings. Rohit said, we will have to find our own ways to deal with the pink Kookaburra ball. Rohit said, more than anything else, there is a need to get used to the speed of this ball. Rohit admitted that facing this ball would be a challenge. Rohit said, he has tried to understand the conditions here by watching the pink ball matches played on this ground.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Live: Australia’s troubles are no less
Things are not easy for Australia in this test also. Batsmen like Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne are not in form. Experienced Usman Khawaja also could not take the responsibility in Perth. The biggest blow for Pat Cummins is the exit of Josh Hazlewood, who bowled well in Perth, from this Test. Scott Boland will play in his place. For Nathan McSweeney, who played his first Test match in Perth, the debut was also like a nightmare. In such a situation, the Australian team will also enter this test under pressure.
