During the Adelaide Day-Night Test, Mitchell Starc got rid of Yashasvi Jaiswal on the opening ball. While Starc angled it over the wicket and Jaiswal was defeated by a late swing, the Indian opener shuffled around the off-stump, planning an on-drive. After changing his position, the child attempted to play a flick but was stuck on the front leg because he was unable to timing it. When the appeal was made, the umpire instantly lifted his finger. After talking with his opening partner KL Rahul about a potential review, Jaiswal ultimately made the right decision and decided against it.
In the first match in Perth, Jaiswal and Starc began their feud when the 22-year-old slammed the Australia international, accusing him of bowling slowly. Jaiswal received no response from Starc, who subsequently disclosed that he was unable to hear the sledge. Following that, they met for the first time in Adelaide, where the pacer was able to send Jaiswal back to the pavilion with the very first ball.

Meanwhile, India’s record in Adelaide is appalling. The Australian media has been successful in reminding them of the visitors’ 36-run dismissal in their most recent Test match. But captain Rohit Sharma was unconcerned about the past and felt the team would play better in the second Test.
In the meantime, the visiting team’s starting lineup saw three changes. After missing the first Test because he was on paternity leave, Rohit came back and said he would bat in the middle order. Ravichandran Ashwin has also been picked, and Shubman Gill, who missed the Perth Test because of a finger injury, has returned. In the starting lineup, the off-spinner took Washington Sundar’s place.
However, the batting unit will be the main focus. The batters might not feel secure confronting the Pink Ball, which arrives a little quicker after hitting the deck, but the bowlers, who performed admirably in the first Test, will be confident. Twilight is a difficult time to bat, and it frequently defines the game.
