India are currently competing with Australia in the first Test of the four-match Border-Gavaskar at the Adelaide Oval in Oval. Having won the toss, Indian captain Virat Kohli decided to bat first. The Men in Blue decided to go with the opening combination of Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw which came as a surprise considering Shaw's poor run of form in recent times. However, the team management showed faith in the youngster and chose him ahead of an in-form Shubman Gill for the India vs Australia 1st Test.
