Australia Gains Upper Hand in Second Test Against India After Starc's Stellar Performance
Mitchell Starc's career-best 6/48 dismantles India for 180, setting up a strong position for Australia heading into Day 2 in Adelaide.
- Mitchell Starc's exceptional bowling, including a first-ball dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal, helped Australia bowl India out for 180 on Day 1 of the second Test.
- Starc's six-wicket haul, his career-best in Test cricket, was marked by precise use of the pink ball and a mix of swing, bounce, and yorkers.
- Australia ended Day 1 at 86/1, trailing by 94 runs, with Nathan McSweeney (38*) and Marnus Labuschagne (20*) building a steady partnership of 62 runs.
- India's bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah who claimed the sole wicket of Usman Khawaja, struggled with inconsistent lengths, allowing Australia's batters to settle.
- The match offers Australia a chance to level the series after their heavy defeat in Perth, with their batters aiming to secure a substantial first-innings lead.
