India vs Australia: Australia dominates as media highlights Starc’s brilliance and Rohit’s struggles
Australia bounced back strongly in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide, defeating India by ten wickets to level the series 1-1. Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc starred with Starc taking six wickets and dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal's first ball. Rohit Sharma struggled, scoring just 3 and 6, as India managed only 180 and 175 in their innings.
In the 2nd Test between Australia and India, an amazing turnaround saw Australia claim a dominant ten-wicket victory at the Adelaide Oval, leveling the five-match Border-Gavaskar series 1-1. After facing a crushing 295-run defeat in Perth, the hosts silenced critics with a strong pink-ball performance.
Mitchell Starc shone with the ball, taking six wickets in the first innings, including dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal on the first ball. India’s batting faltered, managing only 180 and 175 in their two innings, with skipper Rohit Sharma scoring just 3 and 6 runs, drawing criticism for his performance and leadership. Moreover, the team lacked the fighting spirit in the 2nd test match and hence were defeated by the Australians.
Australia’s Travis Head played a pivotal role, aggressively targeting Indian pacer Harshit Rana and contributing to a substantial lead. Pat Cummins, supported by his bowlers, maintained pressure throughout. Australia’s media celebrated the victory, labeling it “sweet revenge” and highlighting Starc’s brilliance and Head’s altercation with Mohammed Siraj. India faces immense pressure as they head to the Gabba for the third Test starting December 14, seeking to rectify their batting and bowling shortcomings to regain control of the series.
