As many as 36,225 heads dotted the stands at the Adelaide Oval on the first day of the second India-Australia Test in Adelaide to create a new record for crowd turnout during a five-day game featuring the two sides. According to data provided by Cricket Australia (CA), the previous record was 35,081 spectators during the 2011-12 series in which India were whitewashed 4-0 by the home team. A sell-out crowd was predicted at the 53,500-capacity ground on Friday, as India and Australia renewed their rivalry after a long break between the first and second Test.
