Fri Dec 06 07:00:00 UTC 2024: ## India Eye Revenge in Adelaide Day-Night Test Against Australia

**Adelaide, Australia:** India will look to continue their dominant start to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy when they face Australia in a crucial day-night Test match at the Adelaide Oval, starting this Friday, December 6th. This will be India’s second day-night Test in Australia, a rematch of the infamous 2020 encounter where India were bowled out for 36.

The match marks the return of captain Rohit Sharma after a brief paternity leave, and the inclusion of Shubman Gill, who has recovered from a thumb injury. Sharma has confirmed he will bat in the middle order, allowing the successful opening partnership of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal to continue. India enters the match brimming with confidence after a resounding 295-run victory in the first Test in Perth, their largest ever Test win on Australian soil.

However, Adelaide holds a challenging history for India. They have a poor record at the venue, winning only two of their thirteen previous Tests there. The pink ball itself presents another hurdle, forcing India to approach the match with a fresh perspective.

Australia, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their Perth defeat. The second Test promises a fascinating contest, with India seeking revenge and Australia desperate to level the series. The match will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and streamed on Disney+Hotstar. Play begins at 9:30 AM IST on Friday, with the toss at 9:00 AM IST.
