India vs Australia 2nd Test Match: Australia suffered a crushing defeat by 295 runs in the first Test match against India. No one expected this defeat as India got there after losing three Test matches at home to New Zealand. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill also did not participate in the first Test. In this case, the Indian team, led by Jasprit Bumrah, achieved a brilliant victory. Now, the second match between the two teams will start at the Adelaide Stadium on December 6. India’s regular captain Rohit will return in this Test. Australia has also started formulating a strategy to win the second Test.
Australian coach makes big statement about team
According to ESPNcricinfo, Australia head coach Andrew McDonald confirmed that Australia will field the same lineup for the second Test match against India in Adelaide without any changes. But after losing to India, Mitchell Marsh had some physical problems. This could lead to changes in the eleven. Australia selects team to play first Test against India. A total of 13 players participated.
Possibility of change in playstyle11
Coach Andrew McDonald said the same people in the dressing room will be in Adelaide. But the same XI that played in the first Test cannot possibly feature in the second Test. He doesn’t seem committed to it. He said we’ll figure that out as we go forward, but like I said, the team there will be in Adelaide.
On the other hand, Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja also performed poorly. Jose English is waiting to come on as a substitute. Maybe Australia will give him a chance in the eleventh over of the second Test. Currently, Australia will play a net match in Adelaide before the second Test.
Mitchell Marsh bowled 17 overs
In addition to this, Mitchell Marsh took 17 balls in the first Test match and took a total of three wickets, which is the most in a single match in the past three years. For him, the coach said we will wait and see. Australia are left with few bowling options in Perth due to Marsh’s fitness. While the Indian bowlers restricted Australia to 104 and 238 in both innings.
