IND vs AUS How will the Adelaide pitch be for the second Test?
The pitch will play an important role in the day-night Test match between India and Australia in Adelaide. It is considered good to win the toss and bat first here. In Test matches, the pitch helps the batsmen a lot in the first three days at the Adelaide Oval ground.
Due to the flat pitch, batsmen score a lot of runs here. However, as the game progresses, spin bowlers are very effective, but a day-night test match will be played here between India and Australia. In such a situation, the effect of the pink ball in the milky light can be seen differently.
IND vs AUS Harshit Rana’s place is almost confirmed
Harshit Rana’s place in the playing eleven of the second Test is almost confirmed. He bowled lethally in the warm-up match. He took 4 wickets for 44 runs in 6 overs. Rana also showed his strength in the first match of the Test series. He took 3 wickets during Australia’s first innings. At the same time, he took 1 wicket in the second innings. Along with him, Washington Sundar can also get a chance to come on the field.
India’s probable playing XI for the second Test against Australia
Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma (captain), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Nitish Rana, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
Australia: Pat Cummins (captain), Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Alex Carey (wicketkeeper), Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wicketkeeper), Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitch Marsh, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Scott Boland.
