The Indian team currently lead the five-match series by a margin of 1-0 against Australia and they will surely have the best chance to extend their lead in Adelaide. The Australian team is currently under a lot of pressure wherein they have also lost pacer Josh Hazlewood who has been ruled out of the second Test due to a side strain injury. Scott Boland is very likely to replace Hazlewood, however, the Indian team looks in good touch and can once again come out on top in Adelaide.
