India's historic triumph in Adelaide in the opening Test against Australia saw a slew of records being broken. From Cheteshwar Pujara's memorable hundred to Rishabh Pant's 11 catches behind the stumps, Virat Kohli and his men achieved milestones at the Adelaide Oval. This was also the first time that India had won the first Test of a series in Australia

'R Ashwin has a left-sided abdominal strain. He is receiving treatment at the moment. He has been ruled out of the second Test. Rohit Sharma jarred his lower back while fielding in the 1st Test at Adelaide. He is undergoing treatment. He too is ruled out of the second Test,' BCCI said

The left-handed Usman Khawaja, who was key to Australia's 323-run chase, perished going for a big shot. It was a result of constant pressure from Ashwin that he tried to play a reckless shot. Ashwin was India's bowling star in the first innings when he took three wickets and helped the team take a slender 15-run lead

Star Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has been the main threat, targeting the footmarks to trouble Australia's inexperienced batting order. Ashwin and quick Mohammed Shami have two wickets apiece in the second innings

'I think it (the Test) is slightly in our favour because the late wicket (Virat Kohli) was a good thing for them. But we have a good lead. First session tomorrow will be a very important. If we capitalise on that, that will leave us in a very good place in this match,' Jasprit Bumrah said

India’s international stars like Ravichandran Ashwin, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ishant Sharma and others will also be in action in the three-month-long tournament
