Starting on December 6 at Adelaide Oval, the second Test between Australia and India starts India leading the series 1-0. Aiming to even the series, Australia will seek to maximise their home conditions but struggle with younger players on their line-up.

Important players like Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne must perform particularly well against India's strong bowling under Jasprit Bumrah. On the other hand, India's mix of seasoned and new talent-including captain Rohit Sharma and young guns like Yashasvi Jaiswal-will be crucial for their drive to guarantee the series triumph. Match begins at 9:30 AM IST.

Alex Carey backs Australia's "world-class" batters to counter Jasprit Bumrah threat

Alex Carey on Tuesday maintained Australia are a "united group", confident that their "world-class" batters will come up with better plans to counter India's pace threat Jasprit Bumrah in the upcoming pink-ball Test.

With their backs against the wall, India came out all guns blazing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener at Perth to win by a massive 295 runs with Bumrah (5/30 and 3/42) ripping apart Australia's batting in each innings.

The heavy margin of defeat left Australia looking for answers as their batters flopped collectively, leaving their famed bowling attack with a lot to do.

After Australia were set an improbable 534 to win, Josh Hazlewood had invited the media to ask their batters how they planned to go about in the second innings, sparking rumours of a rift between the batting and bowling groups.

Carey, however, declined there was any tensions in the dressing room.

Carey said Australia's resounding loss at Perth sparked a "big reaction externally" but maintained that the team will stick to its processes.

Carey did not want to draw much attention to the last contest in which India were shot out for their lowest-ever Test total of 36.

The two teams will take on each other in the second Test, starting from Friday.
