IND vs CLOSED: The second day in Adelaide was also in the name of hosts Australia. The Indian batsmen had a very embarrassing performance on the first day. Australia dismissed India for 180 runs in the first innings with the help of Mitchell Starc’s 6 wickets. After this, Australia scored 337 runs in the first innings with the help of Travis Head’s brilliant century and Marnus Labusch’s half-century. Thus, Australia managed to get a lead of 157 runs over the visiting Indian team. After this, the second innings of Team India started but the Indian opening pair failed this time as well. KL Rahul returned to the pavilion after scoring just 7 runs while Yashwi Jaiswal also fell victim to Scott Boland after scoring 24 runs. Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli also failed to bat. Kohli could only score 11 runs while Shubman Gill returned to the pavilion scoring 28 runs.
Rohit also failed in the second innings
Fans expected a better performance in the second innings from Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who scored just 3 runs in the first innings, but Australia’s Pat Cummins shattered all expectations. A brilliant delivery from Cummins clean bowled Rohit Sharma. The captain blew the captain’s wicket. On this ball from Cummins, Rohit could not understand where the ball went and where to bring the bat. A length ball from Cummins hits the off stump and comes out just short. Rohit went to defend with the bat straight at this, but the ball beat the edge of the bat and went off stump.
Broke Kapil Dev’s record
As soon as Rohit got out, Kapil Dev’s huge record was broken. Before this wicket, Cummins had taken 111 wickets as captain in Tests, but with this wicket of the Indian captain, the number of wickets of the Australian captain has increased to 112. Thus, Pat Cummins has surpassed Kapil Dev in the list of bowlers who have taken the most wickets as a captain in Test cricket. Pat Cummins has now become the 5th highest wicket-taker captain in Test cricket.
