India vs Australia Highlights today. 2nd Test, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, Friday 17-2-2023, Australia tour of India 2023.
Cummins: It’s got a little bit of a rough. We have to bounce back and everyone is raring to go. Neither of those two [Starc and Green] are playing. Travis Head comes back for Renshaw.
Rohit: Looks like that (would you have batted first?) The pitch is dry and obviously batting first would have been ideal. But the kind of application we showed last game took the toss factor away and that is what will be required here. It’s important when you’re playing in India, you shouldn’t worry about the toss factor too much. That’s the chat in the group as well. Absolutely, we’re all thrilled for him [Pujara] and it’s a big occasion and his family is here. Hundred Test matches are not easy but he has stuck to his plan and he has come a long way. One change: Shreyas Iyer is in for SKY.
Toss: Australia chose to bat first.
India team: Rohit (capt), Rahul, Pujara, Kohli, Shreyas, Jadeja, Bharat (wk), Axar, Ashwin, Shami, Siraj
