Indian cricket team had an ideal start to Day 2. Mohammed Siraj got the priced wicket of Travis Head as the short ball barrage technique worked for the Men in Blue. Mohammed Siraj bowled impeccable lines & lengths.

Critical Phase for India

If the last wicket partnership takes Australia over 500 runs then India would require a helluva of effort to stamp their authority in the crunch match. Skipper Pat Cummins would be aiming to take most of the crease as he can smash lusty blows which would be priceless.

Skipper Rohit Sharma would be aware of the fact that the side has a long rally ahead to make a comeback in the match. There are chances that the pitch may deteriorate and we should not forget that India will bat last on the surface (*4th innings).
