Cheteshwar Pujara believes that India should have batted much better on Day 1 of the pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide after the Rohit Sharma-led side was bundled out for just 180. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul put up a 69-run stand but the visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals. During his analysis, Pujara namedropped star batter Virat Kohli who failed to impress as he was dismissed for just 7. Pujara said that India should have scored 250 to 275 on the Adelaide pitch and added that although the Indian bowlers hit the right length, it did not work out well for them.

Seasoned pacer Mitchell Starc made the most of a moving pink ball for a career-best six-wicket haul as India flattered to deceive to let Australia hold all the aces on day one of the day-night Test in Adelaide on Friday.

Australia did well to reach 86 for one at stumps with Marnus Labuschagne (20 batting off 67) and Nathan McSweeney (38 batting off 97) finding welcome runs.

"Desperation To Create Controversy": Josh Hazlewood's Manager Slams Media For Misconstruing Pacer's Comments

Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood's manager Neil Maxwell has lashed out at the nation's media for blowing the player's comment out of proportion. He also blasted Fox Cricket, the official broadcaster in Australia for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Star India batter Virat Kohli was dismissed for an 8-ball 7 in the first innings of the second Test against Australia in Adelaide on Friday. Fresh from smashing his 30th Test century last week in Perth, Kohli failed to deliver in the first installment of the pink-ball Test on Day 1, perishing against a short of length delivery from Mitchell Starc that rose sharply and caught him at slips.
