**Adelaide, Australia:** India will aim to solidify their position in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 by winning the second Test against Australia, starting December 6th. The match, a day-night encounter played with the pink ball at the Adelaide Oval, holds significant importance for India, who currently lead the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 1-0 after a resounding victory in Perth.

Captain Rohit Sharma’s return and Shubman Gill’s full fitness mean that players like Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel, who featured in the Perth Test, are likely to be dropped from the playing XI. R Ashwin could also replace Washington Sundar.

The match will begin at 9:30 AM IST (2:30 PM local time) and conclude around 4:30 PM IST, barring any weather interruptions. Star Sports will provide live telecast coverage, while live streaming will be available on Hotstar. The toss is scheduled for 9:00 AM IST.

This crucial match will see India attempt to maintain their winning momentum and further their chances of reaching the World Test Championship final. The Adelaide Oval, known for its unpredictable nature, will provide a stern test for both teams.
