India vs Australia 2nd ODI LIVE Score: Shubman Gill's men aim to level series, will Kuldeep Yadav play? – Mint

India vs Australia 2nd ODI LIVE Score: Having failed miserably in the rain-marred first ODI in Perth, the Indian team will be hoping rain stays away in Adelaide as the Men in Blue eye a series-levelling win against Australia in the second game on Thursday. After rain interrupted play four times in Perth, the Indian were able to put just 136/9 in 26 overs.
In reply, Australia romped home with seven wickets and more than four overs to spare. All the eyes will be once again on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as the duo were dismissed for single digits on comeback last Sunday after more than seven months. Interestingly, Kohli has a good record in Adelaide and would be hoping his bat do all the talking.
As far as Australia are concerned, the hosts have released left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann, while seasoned leg-break bowler Adam Zampa rejoined the side after attending the birth of his child along with a fit-again Alex Carey, who was playing a Sheffield Shield game.
Australia have a 85-58 head-to-head record against India in ODIs in their 153 games so far. 10 games ended in no result. In Australia, India have won 14 games and lost 39 times while two games ended in no result.

Just like the chatter around Kuldeep Yadav, yashasvi Jaiswal was caught having a long chat with BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir during training. Even Jaiswal spent most of his time on Wednesday bowling leg-spin.
India are unlikely to tinker with their playing XI. But there are chatter around Kuldeep Yadav’s inclusion in the playing Xi. In case, he is included, one among Nitish Kumar Reddy or Washington Sundar will have to sit out.
