India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights: Australia triumphed over India by 10 wickets, successfully chasing down 19 runs, as Pat Cummins took five wickets to dismiss India for 175 in their second innings on Day 3 at the Adelaide Oval.
A poor batting performance during the challenging twilight session on Saturday saw the Australian pace attack demolish the Indian top-order. The inadequate display from openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal meant that the pressure shifted to Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma to resist, especially after Travis Head propelled Australia to a commanding 157-run first-innings lead with a stunning 141-ball 140. Gill fell victim to a classic inswinger from Mitchell Starc, while Kohli edged one to Boland in a challenging fourth-stump line.
An uncertain Rohit failed to capitalize on his early chance as his counterpart Pat Cummins bowled the Indian captain with a beautiful delivery, just clipping the top of the off-stump. With a 29-run gap, India will be looking for some boldness and a solid partnership when Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy come back to bat.
