Pat Cummins and the Australian cricket team faced a lot of criticism after losing to India by 295 runs in Perth. There were rumors about problems in the team, especially concerning senior players like Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. However, they managed to shake off the pressure and made a fantastic comeback in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, tying the five-match series.
Now, Australian media is stirring things up for India after this defeat. The Advertiser called Australia’s win “sweet revenge” and mentioned the intense moment between Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj on Day 2. They even shared a picture of Travis Head catching Siraj’s wicket, saying it was payback for a previous argument where Siraj called Head a liar.
The article also praised Mitchell Starc, who took six wickets in the first innings. They referred to an earlier moment in Perth when Yashasvi Jaiswal told Starc he was “bowling slow.” Starc made a big statement by dismissing Jaiswal on the first ball of the Adelaide Test, leading the article to say, “A Starc Reminder.”
However, not everything is going well for Indian captain Rohit Sharma. After scoring just 3 and 6 runs in this match, many are questioning his performance and leadership. One headline read, “Heat on Sharma as series hots up.”
During the Adelaide Test, India’s batting was weak, with scores of 180 and 175. While Jasprit Bumrah tried to lead the bowling attack, he didn’t get enough help from Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana, allowing Australia to gain a big lead of over 150 runs. Travis Head particularly targeted Harshit Rana, which helped Australia secure their victory.
India and Australia will now meet again for the third Test at Gabba, Brisbane, starting December 14.
