The Adelaide Test, starting on 6 December, sees India entering with both a mental and physical edge, following a dominant performance in the first Test led by Jasprit Bumrah's bowling and captaincy.

However, the visitors will also aim to exorcise the memories of the infamous 2020 Adelaide pink-ball Test, where they were dismissed for their lowest Test score of 36 runs. On that occasion, Pat Cummins (4/21) and Josh Hazlewood (5/8) dismantled the Indian batting line-up, giving Australia a straightforward target of 90 runs to chase.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, KL Rahul said that he was happy with the way Team India played in the Perth Test and the victory in the opening Test of the series gave them a lot of confidence since it was the opening game.

Ashwin might have made difference at SCG: Gavaskar slams mid-series retirement

Ravichandran Ashwin's shocking retirement call in the middle of the five-Test Border-Gavaskar series has drawn sharp criticism from batting maestro Sunil Gavaskar, who felt that the decision not only left India short of a player but also potentially robbed India's chances of featuring two experienced spinners in the final Test in Sydney, where conditions are expected to favour spinners.
