Preview

Eleven days after Team India took a 1-0 lead in the historic Border Gavaskar Trophy showdown with an impressive 295-run victory in the series-opening Test match at Optus Stadium in Perth, Rohit Sharma and his men will take the field for the second Test match, slated to take place from December 6 at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide.

Pat Cummins and his men, aiming to win the title after a gap of 10 years, need a win, as a 2-0 defeat will leave Australia with an uphill task to win the series. In addition, the defending WTC champions have slipped to the third spot after South Africa thwarted Sri Lanka in the series-opening Test match. On the other hand, for India, this game is set to be a golden opportunity to double their lead and inch closer to marking a historic hat-trick of the series win on Australian soil.

Coming to the team dynamics, Team India is set to make two changes in their playing XI for this Test match as skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will be returning to the playing XI with Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel likely to make their way. In contrast, Australia is expected to make one change, with injured Josh Hazlewood set to make way for Scott Boland.
