India's embarrassing loss in Adelaide
The Indian Test squad, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal couldn't bring out the best, as the scoreboard didn't reflect their experience. With the pink ball zipping around, the Indian batters found it difficult to handle the pace. However, Australia took advantage of the conditions and dismissed all of India's batters in both innings. India lost 20 wickets in a total of 81 overs, facing 486 deliveries, the fourth fewest in Test history. The day-night Test match in Adelaide finished in just three days, becoming the fourth shortest completed Test in Australia, lasting for just 1,031 deliveries.
