Virat Kohli’s golden words on the stump mic made everyone sit up and reminded them what a live wire the ex-India captain is on the field. His praise for pacer Jasprit Bumrah after he beat the batter on day one of the second Test in Adelaide, was caught on stump mic and went viral in no time.
Rohit Sharma returned to Indian XI and won the toss and chose to bat first. The decision backfired due to overcast conditions and the fact that Australian pacers are masters with the pink ball.
Nitish Reddy top-scored with 42, while KL Rahul (37) and Shubman Gill (31) added 69 runs for the second wicket after Mitchell Starc had dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal on the first ball of the match. India folded for 180, as Starc picked 6/48.
In response, India got a breakthrough soon, as Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Usman Khawaja. But then Nathan McSweeney (38) and Marnus Labuschagne (20*) steadied the ship as Australia finished day one on 86/1.
Jasprit Bumrah, India's pace spearhead, bowled an amazing delivery outside the off stump that utterly surprised Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne. The delivery was so excellent that Kohli couldn't help but applaud Bumrah, saying, "He's got no clue, Jass."
