Background
Hello and welcome to ABP's live coverage of the match between India and Australia. Australia extended their lead to 62 runs against India at the end of day 2 of the second Test here on Saturday. The visitors were on 61 for one when stumps were called. Earlier, Axar Patel (74) and Ravichandran Ashwin (37) added 114 runs before Australia bowled out India for 262 for a one-run lead. Shreyas Iyer completed a stellar catch as Usman Khawaja (6) was sent back by Ravindra Jadeja (1/23).
Rohit Sharma’s men won the 1st Test by innings and 132 runs. The first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy had ended within 3 days with the duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja scalping 16 of the 20 wickets. This will be Cheteshwar Pujara’s 100th Test match and he will be looking to make it count.
As for the Australians, they will be looking to win this game and tie the series. Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green are fit to bolster the Australian playing XI. Shreyas Iyer is fit and is making his way into the Indian side. It will be interesting to see whether he gets a chance or not in the playing XI.
"It is always good to have somebody back from injury. We never like to lose people to injuries and it is never nice for a team, nice for that individual and glad that he (Iyer) is fit. We will take a call after a couple of training sessions”, Rahul Dravid said.
"Today, he has done some training. We will again assess it tomorrow as well when he comes in for a light hit and see how he feels," the head coach added.
"But certainly, if he is ready to take the load of a five-day Test match, then without doubt, with his performances in the past, he will walk straight into the side."
