India and Australia
IND vs AUS: The second day of Adelaide was also in the name of host Australia. Indian batsmen had a very shameful performance on the first day. Australia bowled out India for 180 runs in the first innings with the help of Mitchell Starc’s 6 wickets. After this, Australia scored 337 runs in its first innings with the help of Travis Head’s brilliant century and Marnus Labuschagne’s half-century. In this way Australia managed to gain a lead of 157 runs over the visiting Indian team. After this, the second innings of Team India started but the Indian opening pair was a flop this time too. KL Rahul returned to the pavilion after scoring only 7 runs while Yashasvi Jaiswal also became the victim of Scott Boland after scoring 24 runs. Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli also failed with the bat. Kohli could score only 11 runs while Shubman Gill returned to the pavilion after scoring 28 runs.
Rohit failed in the second innings also
Fans were expecting a better performance in the second innings from Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who scored only 3 runs in the first innings, but Australian Pat Cummins dashed all the expectations. A brilliant ball from Cummins clean bowled Rohit Sharma. The captain blew the captain’s wicket. On this ball of Cummins, Rohit could not understand where the ball went and where to bring the bat. Cummins’ length ball fell on the off stump and came out just slightly. On this, Rohit went straight to defend with the bat, but the ball beat the edge of the bat and flew past the off stump.
Kapil Dev’s record destroyed
With Rohit’s dismissal, Kapil Dev’s huge record was shattered. Before this wicket, Cummins had 111 wickets in his name as captain in Tests, but with the wicket of the Indian captain, the number of wickets taken by the Australian captain increased to 112. In this way, Pat Cummins left Kapil Dev behind in the list of bowlers taking most wickets as a captain in Test cricket. Pat Cummins has now become the 5th captain to take the most wickets in Test cricket.
