IND vs AUS 2nd Test Live Cricket Score: Scott Boland sends back KL Rahul on a no-ball, Indian opener survives
India vs Australia Live Updates: A 46 all-out has happened after it, that too at home so the 36 all-out doesn’t feel all that bad now. However, the fact that it is the sole memory which comes to everyone with regards to India and a pink-ball Test, tells you how deep that wound still is and only a win at the Adelaide Oval will now heal it, somewhat. Surprisingly, India come into the contest with confidence while it is Australia, who have questions all over them post the Perth defeat.
The opening Test, which seems like aeons ago, was an example of what India can do when they have backs against the wall. It is the other way around this time with Australia under pressure but with skipper Rohit Sharma and No 3 Shubman Gill returning to the fold for India, the visitors will be upbeat and hopeful of taking a 2-0 lead. Australia will be without their key pacer Josh Hazlewood but Scott Boland is not a bad replacement to come in. Pink-ball, twilight and reputations at stake – should be a cracker! Follow all the live updates from the second Ind vs Aus Test from Adelaide-
Scotty Boland fulfilled his promise of getting the better of KL Rahul almost came to fruition on the first ball of his Test summer.
Rahul was caught poking in his crease and the outside edge was held on to by the keeper before it was revealed that the bowler had overstepped and Rahul lives the charmed life. Australia almost had their man, Boland was through his celebrations, Kohli had gotten up from his chair to walk out until all of them retracted their actions and India are still only one down.
Intentions are clear here from both teams! Shots have been fired from both sides as Starc got away with the first one and Shubman Gill has made his gameplan clear by attacking Starc, smashing consecutive boundaries. It should be fun!
