IND vs AUS 2nd Test: India have been dismissed for 180 by Australia in the first innings of the second India vs Australia Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 at the Adelaide Oval on Friday, December 6. Australian spearhead Mitchell Starc was the architect-in-chief for Australia delivering an impressive spell of 6-48 in 14.1 overs.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first, sending Australia in to bowl first. Starc made an instant impact as he got rid of India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for a golden duck off the very first ball of the match. However, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill formed a crucial partnership of 69 runs and looked all set to go big before Starc came back again and got rid of Rahul to get Australia a much-needed breakthrough.

Virat Kohli could not contribute much as Starc removed him for just seven runs. New man in the Aussie team, Scott Boland, made his presence felt as well as he scalped two quick wickets by removing set Shubman Gill and the skipper Rohit Sharma. 

Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy got a little partnership going but skipper Cummins got rid of Pant as he got out for 21 runs. R Ashwin complemented Reddy well with a well-made 22 bu Starc got him trapped LBW. Starc picked another as he rattled Harshit Rana's stumps but Reddy unleashed an array of counterattacking strokes before Starc ended his innings on 42 runs.

Just a stunning effort with the pink ball.
