Pink-Ball Test: There’s a certain buzz around for the “Pink-Ball Test” match between two cricketing giants India and Australia. Last time, India played a pink ball test match in the 2020-21, where India clinched the series 2-1.
After winning the first test match comprehensively, India would be eyeing for the 2nd Test match too, as it is a “Pink-Ball Test”.
As the teams prepare for the second Test at Adelaide Oval, Australia will be looking to level the score. Australia has a major challenge in front of it with a squad full of match-winners.
Here, take a look at the top-3 Indians who might pose a threat to Australia in the 2nd Test:
Virat Kohli
India’s star batter, Virat Kohli is one of the best batter in the modern era of cricket. With his elegant batting and great fitness, Kohli is probably the most complete cricketer. In Australia, Kohli has dominated the most by any visiting batter in the current era.
Virat Kohli’s stats against Australia in Tests:
| Format | Matches | Runs | Centuries |

Yashasvi Jaiswal
The young dynamic Indian southpaw, Yashasvi Jaiswal is in the limelight for his blazing batting in the longest format of the game. The 22-year-old has already shown his glimpse on the Australian soil. In the second innings, Jaiswal smashed 161 runs off 297 balls with 15 fours and 3 sixes.
