With the toss of the coin in Adelaide, Indian captain Rohit Sharma also announced his playing eleven. The changes that were expected in the Indian team were seen exactly the same.

There has also been a change in the Australian team for the Pink Ball Test. Scott Boland has replaced injured Josh Hazlewood in the Australian team. The second test of the 5 test match series is being played in Adelaide. Earlier, India had won the first Test played in Perth and taken a 1-0 lead in the series.

Team India entered with 3 changes

There are changes in the Indian team for the Pink Ball Test, which were already decided. The first two changes in the team have been the return of captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Rohit was out of the first Test in Perth due to the birth of his second child while Gill was out of the first Test in Perth due to a finger injury. The third change has happened in the spin department of the Indian team. Where Ashwin has replaced Washington Sundar.

That's why Ashwin gets a chance in Adelaide Test

Ashwin returned to the team because he had a good performance in the last pink ball test played in Adelaide. He had taken 5 wickets in the last pink ball test. If we look overall in Adelaide, Ashnin has played 3 tests, in which he has taken 16 wickets. Considering these figures, the Indian team management has given preference to Ashwin over Washington Sundar.
