Adelaide, Australia – India’s second innings in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia got off to a shaky start in Adelaide. After winning the toss and electing to bat, India lost early wickets, with Yashasvi Jaiswal falling on the very first ball. KL Rahul, after a shaky start, received a controversial reprieve when a caught-behind appeal was overturned by the third umpire due to a no-ball. However, replays later showed the ball hadn’t even touched his bat, raising questions about the decision. Despite the lifeline, Rahul was eventually dismissed by Mitchell Starc for 37. Starc also accounted for Virat Kohli (7). Shubman Gill also fell to Scott Boland, leaving India at 81/4 at the end of the first session. The Indian team will need to recover strongly if they are to avoid a significant first-innings deficit.
