IND vs AUS 2nd Test Live: Australia WINS
Day 2 Recap: On the second day of the Adelaide Test, Australia continued its dominance after the strong opening day. A brilliant effort by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj saw four wickets being taken each in dismissing Australia for 337, yet solid bowling meant India went to stumps trailing by 157 runs. The situation turned out to be worse for the visitors as Australia’s pacers tore through the Indian batting lineup, leaving them at a precarious 128 for 5 by the close of play on Saturday. At stumps, India trailed Australia by just 29 runs, with Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy at the crease.
As Day 3 of the Adelaide Test unfolds, all eyes will be on Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy, who remain at the crease and are tasked with rebuilding India’s innings. With India trailing by just 29 runs, the duo will need to weather the storm against Australia’s formidable pacers. The hosts will be eager to break the partnership early and extend their advantage. India’s hopes rest heavily on these two, as the visitors aim to close the gap and shift the momentum in their favor. Stay tuned for more updates as the action continues!
