Virat Kohli took to the field as the Test captain for the first time ever during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, marking a start of perhaps country's golden period in Test cricket, which witnessed plenty of records broken, on-field confrontations and aggression and the long-format cricket at its very best, which marked a massive paradigm shift in the way India played its cricket in white clothing. The first Test against Australia at Adelaide Oval saw a 25-year-old donning the captain's blazer for the first time ever, due to MS Dhoni's unavailability due to an injury.

day-night Test seemed like an exciting idea, the panacea for the problem. Over the years, it seems to have lost its sheen. Except Australia, no country plays it regularly. In fact, they have hosted 13 out of 23 pink ball Tests that have been played so far. England and South Africa haven’t hosted a pink ball Test since 2017. Sri Lanka have never hosted one. India haven’t played a pink Test at home since March 2022 and there is nothing to suggest that it will change anytime soon. For all practical purposes, it has been reduced to tokenism championed by Australia whenever a touring side travels down under.

pink ball Test as their formidable pacers scythed through India's top-order after nemesis Travis Head's counterattacking century handed his team a substantial first-innings lead on a riveting second day here on Saturday. The Adelaide Oval was throbbing with life through the three sessions of play as Head dominated India with his wide range of strokes on way to a 140 off 141 balls before the trio of Scott Boland (2/39), Mitchell Starc (1/49) and Pat Cummins (2/33) left the visitors in a spot of bother at 128 for five in their second innings and trailing by 29 runs. At stumps, Rishabh Pant was living dangerously on a 25-ball 28 and Nitish Reddy was batting on 15 off 14. Thanks to Head's eighth Test century, which he reached in 111 balls after toying with the Indian bowling attack, Australia ended with 337 all out, and more importantly, a 157-run first-innings lead.

Mitchell Starc dismissed India opening batsman Yashaswi Jaiswal fell for a golden duck on the very first ball of the second test between India and Australia in Adelaide Oval. Jaiswal missed the flick on the first ball and was caught LBW in front of stumps. This comes after the last match exchange of words between the two. In the first test match in Perth Jaiswal had sledged Starc saying that «You're bowling too slow.». India secured a commanding victory in the first Test against Australia at the Optus Stadium in Perth, defeating the hosts by a record 295 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal's stellar 161 in the second innings, the highest score by an Indian opener on Australian soil, was a key highlight. However, an unusual exchange between Jaiswal and Mitchell Starc on Day 2 also caught attention.
