AUS vs IND 2nd Test match preview

India was humiliated and annihilated in the first Test in Adelaide where the Men in Blue registered their lowest score (36) in the format in their 88-year-old cricketing history. The insulting loss at the hands of the Aussies caused widespread criticism with fans, as well as, former cricketers calling out for some major changes in the team. The team is set to go through several changes and it is likely that Prithvi Shaw, Virat Kohli, Hanuma Vihari and Mohammad Shami will be replaced by Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammad Siraj.

On the other hand, the Australian pacers were ruthless in Adelaide and the same will be expected of them in the India vs Australia 2nd Test. David Warner is still unfit and won't return for the Boxing Day Test. The hosts are likely to go ahead with the same team that played the first Test. Australia will look to take an unassailable 2-0 lead by winning the fixture whereas India will look to draw level.
