India will take on Australia in the 2nd Test of the 4-match series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, from Friday (17 February) morning.
Team India won the opening Test in Nagpur by an inning and 132 runs to take a crucial 1-0 lead in the series. It was a dominant all-round performance from the hosts. Skipper R. Sharma scored a masterful century, while Jadeja, Axar, and Ashwin's spin trio contributed with bat and ball. S. Iyer is likely to replace Suryakumar in the playing 11.
On the other hand, Australia will be disappointed with its performance in the Nagpur Test. Except for Smith and Labuschagne, all the batters failed to tackle the Indian spinners. The bowlers were disciplined but failed to remove the lower-order Indian batters.
