Australia took the lead against India on the first day of the second Test, with Mitchell Starc recording career-best Test scores of 6-48.
At the Adelaide Oval, Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to use the pitch first, but Starc’s outstanding bowling, which solidified his position as the most dangerous bowler in day-night Test cricket, saw India thrashed for 180.
When he trapped Yashasvi Jaiswal leg before wicket with the opening delivery of the game, the left-arm quick set the tone for an outstanding Australia attack.
Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were among the top-order wickets that Starc claimed before the lower order was destroyed by another frightening burst later in India’s innings.
