2nd Test: Mitchell Starc Picks 6-48 As Australia Bundle Out India For 180
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc shined by picking 6-48, his 15th five-for in Tests, as Australia bundled out India for just 180 in 44.1 overs at tea on day one of the second Test at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.
Under overcast skies, Starc trapped Yashasvi Jaiswal lbw with the very first delivery of the game to mark a riveting start of the day-night Test. After that, India were building their innings, thanks to a 69-run partnership between KL Rahul and Shubman Gill.
But Starc struck again with his double strike, removing Rahul and then Virat Kohli, before Scott Boland trapped Shubman Gill lbw, as India went from 69/1 to 81/4 in the first session. Post dinner break, Starc used his inswinging yorkers to scythe through India's lower order and take out Nitish Kumar Reddy, India’s top run-scorer with 42, to bag his career-best Test figures and complete an excellent phase of the game for Australia.
