Team India's condition is bad in Adelaide Test. Generally, the record of teams batting first after winning the toss in the Pink Ball Test has looked good in Adelaide. But the story of Team India is the opposite. The top order of the Indian team collapsed even before 100 runs were added to the score board. The situation worsened because Team India lost the wickets of Rahul, Virat, Gill and Rohit for just 18 runs. Two Australian batsmen played a big role in uprooting the top batsmen of the Indian team. Bowler Scott Boland, who returned to the Test team after 18 months with Mitchell Starc, created a stir.

5 wickets fell for 87 runs

In the Adelaide Test, India suffered its first 5 setbacks at 87 runs. India's first wicket was that of Yashasvi Jaiswal even before the score board opened its account. Jaiswal was out on the very first ball of the match. After his wicket, there was a 69-run partnership between KL Rahul and Gill for the second wicket and the Indian innings seemed to be somewhat stable. But it did not take time for the entire top order to collapse in the collapsing Adelaide of that pair.

4 wickets fell within 18 runs

After the breakdown of the partnership between Rahul and Gill, India's next 4 wickets fell within just 18 runs.

In breaking the Indian top order in this way, Starc got excellent support from his fellow bowler Scott Boland. Boland came in place of Hazlewood in this match. And, he seemed to fill that place well in this match.

Gill was out for the third time

Boland first dismissed Gill and then hunted captain Rohit. This is the third time in Test that Boland has dismissed Gill. During this period, Gill has scored just 10 runs in 28 balls played by Boland at an average of 3.33. He LBWed Rohit on the personal score of 3 runs.

Starc took 3 wickets, achieved this feat

Mitchell Starc took 3 of the top 5 wickets that fell for India. Apart from Jaiswal, he took the wickets of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. With these 3 wickets, Starc also achieved an achievement. He became the fourth Australian bowler to take 100 or more wickets in the first innings in Test.
