Sat Dec 07 08:34:24 UTC 2024: ## Kohli’s Sledging and Bumrah’s Strikes Highlight Day One in Adelaide
**Adelaide, Australia –** Day one of the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Adelaide saw a fiery display of cricket, punctuated by Virat Kohli’s on-field sledging and Jasprit Bumrah’s crucial wickets. Kohli, known for his aggressive approach, was caught on camera attempting to unsettle Australian opener Nathan McSweeney, repeatedly shouting “He’s got no clue!” after close calls.
While McSweeney survived the first day with a score of 37*, Bumrah ultimately had the last laugh, dismissing him early on day two with a delivery strikingly similar to the one that prompted Kohli’s earlier comments. Bumrah’s success continued, as he also claimed the wicket of Steve Smith, bolstering India’s chances after a disappointing first innings where they were bowled out for 180, largely due to Mitchell Starc’s career-best figures. Kohli himself was among Starc’s six victims. The day’s play showcased the intense rivalry between the two teams, with both verbal sparring and skillful bowling playing key roles.
