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

Virat Kohli and his men have a clear advantage going to Perth as the Australians are battling serious handicaps 

'Fast bowlers are a precious commodity and they need to be taken care of, like what you do with a racehorse and that's exactly what's happening,' Bharat Arun said, reflecting on reports that Virat Kohli and his wife vacated business class seats for the pacers on their way to Perth

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

'He's (Virat Kohli) a superstar of the game and he's the captain. We've talked for as long as I can remember in Australian cricket teams that you want to keep the opposition captain down as much as possible. You love seeing that passion in sport,' Justin Langer said

Virat Kohli made 34 from 104 deliveries but fell to Lyon for the sixth time in his Test career. Kohli received a hostile reception from the Adelaide Oval crowd on his way to the crease and he was watchful against probing Australian bowling
