IND vs AUS 2nd Test Schedule, Live Streaming, Date, Pitch Report, Weather Rohit Sharma’s India will take on Pat Cummins’ Australia in the second of a five-match Test series in a pink ball Test at the Adelaide. India leads the series 1-0 thanks to a thumping win at Perth by 295 runs.
However, Australia has not lost a pink ball Test in Adelaide they won all seven games. India famously got bowled out for 36 in the last time they played a pink ball Test in Australia. However, the side has momentum with them this time around and the Australian batting order has shown fragility in recent times and also has lost their last day-night Test in Gabba against West Indies earlier this year which is their first defeat in a pink ball match.
Here’s a look at all the details
India predicted XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana
Player to watch out for: Rohit Sharma struggled against New Zealand both as skipper and batter. With India winning the first Test under Jasprit Bumrah the onus is on Rohit to keep the momentum intact. The skipper has also said he will move down the batting order which will also means he needs to adapt his game accordingly.
Australia playing XI: Nathan McSweeney, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland
Player to watch out for: Pat Cummins has announced playing XI for Australia. And he is the one who will be in the spotlight for the rest of the summer. Not only did he look rusty in terms of accuracy in the first Test but surprisingly his pace was down and captaincy too looked defensive. If Australia manages to lose the Test in Adelaide Cummins might find himself in a tricky spot.
Squads:
India Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant(w), Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Nitish Reddy, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Devdutt Padikkal, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Sarfaraz Khan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep
Australia Squad: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey(w), Pat Cummins(c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland, Beau Webster, Josh Inglis, Brendan Doggett, Sean Abbott

Pitch report: The surface at the Adelaide usually has a bit of subcontinental shade to it. It is flat to start and it starts to turn later in the Test match. However, since it is a Day/Night game things will vary slightly as seamers will come more into play during the twilight and evening sessions with scores being relatively low compared to Day games.
