Travis Head

Travis Head is an absolute lethal batsmen, particularly when playing against India. In Perth Test, he showcased aggressive batting, even when others Australians struggled. Head's record in Pink Ball Tests is strong, with 543 runs in 12 innings at an average of 49.36 and a strike rate of nearly 70. With two centuries and three half-centuries to his name, he will be a key player to watch in IND vs AUS 2nd Test.

Pat Cummins

Pink Ball Tests favor pacers and Pat Cummins is well-equipped to exploit these conditions. Known for his accuracy and swing, Cummins has an impressive record in day-night Tests, with 34 wickets in seven matches at an average of 18.35. He has also claimed 10 wickets in a match and taken five-wicket hauls in these conditions, making him a threat to India.

Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc could be India's biggest challenge in IND vs AUS Adelaide Pink Ball Test. With 66 wickets in 12 pink-ball Tests at an exceptional average of 18.71, Starc thrives in these conditions. The pink ball's swing under lights gives him an advantage, and his current form, including a six-wicket haul in the Sheffield Shield, suggests he will be a major threat for India in Adelaide.
