IND vs AUS / This player enters Australia for the pink ball test, spews fire against Team India

IND vs AUS: The second match of the five-match Test series between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide from December 6. This will be a day-night pink ball Test match, which is very important for both the teams. India has taken a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the first Test. At the same time, Australia will try to make a comeback in this match.

Hazelwood out, Scott Boland gets a chance

The Australian camp has suffered a major setback as their star fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of this match due to injury. In his place, experienced fast bowler Scott Boland has been included in the team. Boland has performed brilliantly despite getting limited opportunities and he can prove to be a big threat to the Indian batsmen.

Scott Boland's career: Limited opportunities, but big impact

35-year-old Scott Boland made his Test debut in 2021 and has played only 10 Tests so far. In these matches, he has taken 35 wickets, including a feat of taking 5 wickets once and 4 wickets once.

Record against India:

Boland has played two Tests against India so far, taking 5 wickets.

He was not impressive in the Nagpur Test in 2023, but in the Oval Test, he took 5 wickets in both innings.

He has dismissed Shubman Gill twice, which makes him a special threat to the Indian batsmen.

Will Boland be a challenge for Shubman Gill?

Shubman Gill, who was out of the first Test, can play at number three in the second match. However, Shubman will need to be cautious of Boland, as Boland has dismissed him twice. But the situation now is slightly different:

Changing role: Shubman Gill is now playing in the middle order, where he has to face less of the new ball.

Long break: Boland has not played any Test match since 2023, which may affect his rhythm.

India's advantage: Experience and confidence

The most positive aspect for India is that their batting lineup is in strong form. Batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul are ready to challenge the Australian bowling. Apart from this, bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami can reach new heights with the pink ball.

Pressure and thrill of day-night test

The pink ball test gives extra help to the bowlers, especially in the evening session. The Indian team will need to be cautious while batting, as the swing and seam of the pink ball can create problems on Australian pitches.

Will Australia be able to make a comeback?

The Australian team has a chance to make a comeback, but for this they will have to show strength in bowling as well as batting. Batsmen like David Warner and Steve Smith will be expected to perform better.

Result: Who will be the winner?

This match to be held in Adelaide is going to be exciting. While the Indian team is full of confidence, Australia will try to stop the losing streak at home. Scott Boland's entry and Shubman Gill's return will make this match even more interesting.

Will India be able to extend their lead to 2-0, or will Australia stage a strong comeback to level the series? It will be interesting to watch.
