"kl-rahul"

After failing to capitalise on their decision to bat first in the first innings, the Jasprit Bumrah-led side bounced back in the second innings with strong batting performance from the top-three - Yashashvi Jasiswal (161), KL Rahul (77) and Virat Kohli (100 not out)

Four wickets fell in an eventful second session but Kohli and Washington remained firm during the breaks as India looked in commanding position

Jaiswal and Rahul’s partnership turned out to be the highest-ever opening stand for India in Australia, crossing the previous record of 191 runs set by Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth at Sydney in 1986

At the break, India reached 275 for 1 in their second innings despite losing KL Rahul's (77) wicket

After the heavy roller was used before play on Day 2 and again after Australia’s first innings ended at 104, India gained a useful 46-run lead, which helped ease the pitch under the scorching sun. This made batting easier for Jaiswal and Rahul, who finished Day 2 unbeaten on 90 and 62, respectively. The pair have put India in a strong position, with their second innings total standing at 172/0 after 57 overs.

With months of off-field strategy and rigorous scouting, it will all come down to pure business as 10 franchises would look to get the best possible squads for the 2025 season and beyond
