India vs Australia 2nd Test LIVE Updates: The India vs Australia Day-Night Test is here. Both teams will enter the Adelaide Oval on Friday knowing fully well that a win here may impact the series in more ways than one.
India is a team of superstars, and Australia is not focused on countering just 'extraordinary' players like Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli, but the entire group as everyone is incredibly talented, spinner Nathan Lyon said on Wednesday. In the buildup to the Border Gavasakar Trophy and post India's emphatic 295-run with the series-opener in Perth, the chatter has revolved around specific Indian players including Kohli and Bumrah.
Rohit Sharma will take a step back to lead from the front as India look for the perfect combination to drive home the advantage against a wounded but famously resilient Australia in the day/night Test starting in Adelaide on Friday. Rohit, returning to the side from a brief paternity break, has taken the tough call of pushing himself down the order to accommodate K L Rahul at the top alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. Both Rahul and Jaiswal excelled in Perth and had a big part in India's biggest overseas win.

Witnessing Virat Kohli's batting or Jasprit Bumrah's bowling is a pure delight for the cricket fans. While Kohli is among the greatest batters the world has ever witnessed, such is the case with Bumrah in fast bowling. Kohli is a batter that barely any bowler wants to bowl to. On the other hand, Bumrah also maintains a similar stature. Even in their wildest of dreams, the batters would not want to face the Indian pacer, who is just a master of his art.
Will the Champions Trophy 2025 happen at all? As things stand, there is no clarity. The BCCI has said that the Indian cricket team won't be travelling to Pakistan, the designated hosts of the 2025 Champions Trophy, after not getting clearance from the Indian government. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has said they won't accept a hybrid model of hosting.
Virat Kohli's journey to become India cricket great started with the 2008 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Players like Ravindra Jadeja, Manish Pandey, Pradeep Sangwan, and Saurabh Tiwary were part of that team. Also, part of the team was Punjab's fast bowler Siddharth Kaul. The fast bowler announced his retirement from Indian cricket on November 28, having represented the country in three ODIs and as many T20s in 2018-19. The 34-year-old Punjab pacer, who played in the IPL for Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Royal Challengers Bangalore, made the announcement on social media.
The Indian cricket team players geared up for the second Test match against Australia in Adelaide with a juniors vs seniors football match.

According to some posts on social media, Rishabh Pant was in the juniors team along with other young cricketers in the squad.
