Team India has arrived in Adelaide for the second Test against Australia, starting Friday. Rohit Sharma & Co have begun sweating it out in the nets while head coach Gautam Gambhir has also reunited with the camp after his urgent trip back home.
On Tuesday, the Indian fans also turned up at the Adelaide Oval to have a glimpse of the Indian stars at the training session. The Indian supporters stacked up near the nets to watch Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharm bat for quite some time. The former looked in fine touch, middling almost every delivery while taking throwdowns. Kohli will enter the second Test following a scintillating hundred in Perth while Rohit will play his first game in the ongoing Test series.
Earlier on Tuesday morning, coach Gambhir returned to Australia following an urgent home visit. He missed the two-day warm-up game against the Prime Minister’s XI at Manuka Oval here, which was reduced to a 46-overs-a-side contest due to inclement weather. He had left the touring party on November 26, the scheduled final day of the first Test in Perth.
A rampaging India won the opening Test by 295 runs and with plenty of time left in the match. Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah had led India in the Perth Test in Rohit’s absence.
Now with Rohit’s arrival and Shubman Gill also in reckoning with a fine half-century in the warm-up game against the PM’s XI, Gambhir will have his task cut out as he gets down to select the playing XI.
Gill had also missed the Perth Test after fracturing his right thumb during a training session. The Indian team arrived in Adelaide from Canberra on Monday afternoon and will have three practice sessions – out of which two will be under lights on Tuesday and Thursday.
