India Vs Australia 2nd Test: When, Where To Watch Border-Gavaskar Trophy Online

IND Vs AUS 2nd Test: India’s quest to extend their lead receives a significant boost with the return of regular captain Rohit Sharma.

IND Vs AUS 2nd Test: The stage is set at the Adelaide Oval as India and Australia lock horns in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25. This high-stakes clash, played under lights with the pink ball, began on December 6, with India holding a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. The visitors dominated the opening Test in Perth, securing a massive 295-run victory powered by stellar contributions from Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Virat Kohli.

India’s quest to extend their lead receives a significant boost with the return of regular captain Rohit Sharma, who missed the first Test due to the birth of his second child. Rohit’s inclusion adds experience and stability to India’s batting order. The team also welcomes back seasoned spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and young opener Shubman Gill, as the management seeks a balanced lineup for the pink-ball challenge.

Australia, on the other hand, faces a setback with the absence of veteran pacer Josh Hazlewood, who sustained a side strain during the Perth Test. Scott Boland steps in as his replacement, bringing his own expertise in exploiting seam-friendly conditions.
