It was a poor batting display by India on day one of the Adelaide Test. Barring Cheteshwar Pujara none of the Indian batsman showed an intent to sound some time on the pitch. Most of the batsmen fell to edges induced while looking to play a drive. It was Pujaraās century that lifted India to 250 for nine on day one. Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah resume the action for India on day two.Ā Live Cricket Streaming of India vs Australia 2018-19 Series on SonyLIV: Check Live Cricket Score, Watch Free Telecast of IND vs AUS 1st Test Match, Day 2, on TV & Online.
India will be hoping that Shami and Bumrah score some 20 more runs. Anything over 20 will be a bonus. While Australia will be looking to bowl out India as quickly as possible. Australian pacers were on target on day one. However, they will be slightly disappointed to have let India off the hook after once having them on the back-foot on 86 for five.
Apart from Pujaraās 123, Rohit Sharma scored second best for India with 37 runs. Rishabh Pant and Ravi Ashwin chipped in with 25 runs each.
