**Adelaide, Australia:** India’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign got off to a shaky start in the second Test against Australia in Adelaide. The Indian team lost four wickets in the first session, succumbing to a devastating spell of bowling from Mitchell Starc.
Starc dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli, while Scott Boland claimed the wicket of Shubman Gill. The damage began immediately, with Jaiswal falling on the very first ball of the match.
Despite a 69-run partnership between Rahul (37 runs, 6 fours) and Gill, Starc’s incisive bowling broke the stand. Kohli’s dismissal for 7 runs further compounded India’s woes. Gill’s departure for 31 (5 fours) left India reeling at 82/4 at the end of the first session. Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant remain at the crease, with hopes resting on them to salvage the innings.
