Indian Cricket Team had a terrific morning session on Day 2 where they skittled out the mighty Aussies for 197 runs. Australia got a sizeable lead of 88 runs. Shubman Gill once again was dismissed cheaply in the afternoon session. Rohit Sharma & Cheteshwar Pujara played cautiously as the spinners were getting ample help from the surface. Rohit Sharma made sure that they toil the bowlers.

Nathan Lyon kept the batters guessing with his variations and bowled an impeccable line & length. Skipper Steven Smith has been magnificent with his field placings where he has made sure that the team doesn’t give any easy singles to the opposition team.

Critical Session for India

All eyes would be on Virat Kohli as the batter along with Cheteshwar Pujara have to play out of their skin as scoring runs on a spicy wicket won’t be easy by any means. We witnessed how Australia lost 6 wickets for 11 runs in the 1st innings where one wicket can change the complexion of the match.

Australia would be aware of the fact that they have to keep on taking wickets as India have got a very deep batting lineup. Steven Smith would be thinking of giving the ball to Mitchell Starc before the end of the afternoon session. India would be aiming to set a score in excess of 150 runs which would give them a solid chance of winning the Test match as the BGT 2023.
