As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy caravan approaches its second meeting, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, landed in Adelaide prior to the start of the Pink-Ball Test match on December 6. The squad is soaring after their spectacular 295-run triumph in the first game of the series in Perth.
After the first Test, the team practiced against the Prime Minister’s XI and defeated them by six wickets. It’s interesting to note that skipper Rohit, who missed the first Test because of the birth of his second kid, will take part in the Adelaide Test again.
On the other hand, a recent BCCI video captured the team’s laid-back moments while travelling from Canberra to Perth. All-rounder Washington Sundar was compared to
The legendary Bollywood villain Mogambo by Sarfaraz Khan in the video, which showed him trying on a hat at a store.
Sundar received positive reviews from Sarfaraz over his new appearance, while R Ashwin also praised the spinner’s new accessory.

Recently recovering from a thumb injury, Shubman Gill is healthy and should be included in the starting lineup. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul’s opening partnership, which made history with a 201-run partnership in the first Test, has been a topic of discussion. The team management now has to oversee batting positions since Rohit’s return.
Virat Kohli, the star batsman, will be hoping to maintain his outstanding form after his incredible century in Perth. After returning from his home for personal reasons, head coach Gautam Gambhir also joined the team.
