On Day 2 of the third Test between Australia and India, Travis Head has once again proven to be a thorn in India's side, smashing his 9th Test century, his 4th against India. Along with Steve Smith, the duo has taken the game away from India with an unbeaten partnership of 159 runs, reminiscent of their performance in the World Test Championship final. The Indian bowlers have been rendered helpless as Australia takes control of the match.
It all started when a man ran behind the sight screen with a beer snake, distracting Labuschagne as Siraj was about to bowl. Angered by this, Siraj threw the ball in frustration and exchanged words with the batsman. However, in the end, Labuschagne had the last laugh as he and Nathan McSweeney remained unbeaten at the end of the day. This is not the first time the two players have clashed in the series, as they also had a fiery exchange during the Test match in Perth.
The Indian batting lineup crumbled against Australian pace attack, ultimately ending up with a paltry score of 180 runs on Day 1 of IND vs AUS 2nd Test. After Yashasvi Jaiswal's quick dismissal, the Indians seemed to have settled in with a strong partnership between KL Rahul and Shubman Gill. However, Mitchell Starc broke through and quickly dismantled the lineup, with only Nitish Kumar Reddy putting up a brave fight towards the end.
Amidst high anticipation, the second Test between India and Australia will begin at Adelaide Oval, with both teams ready to clash for the top spot.

The Indian cricket team made a dominant statement in their warm-up match against PM XI, with Shubman Gill's half-century and Harshit Rana's impressive bowling leading to a comfortable 6-wicket win. The team had the chance to fine-tune their skills in a 50-overs-per-side contest after Day 1 was washed out due to rain. Despite good performances from PM XI's Sam Konstas and Hanno Jacobs, India managed to restrict them to 240 and easily chased down the target with Gill leading the way alongside KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma.
India's cricket team extends its dominance in the land down under as they defeat the Australian Prime Minister's XI in a warm-up match at Manuka Oval in Canberra. Led by captain Rohit Sharma, the Indian team showed strong batting form as they easily chased down the host's total of 240 runs. Openers K.L. Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal shined in the match, providing a glimpse of what's to come in the upcoming test matches against Australia.
Young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased his talent with a confident knock against the Prime Minister's XI during India's practice match at Manuka Oval in Canberra.

The first day of the two-day tour match between Prime Minister's XI and India has been called off due to incessant rain. Australia has also suffered a major setback, with pace bowler Josh Hazlewood being ruled out of the second Test against India due to injury. The 50-over game will now be played tomorrow instead.
After scoring a disappointing 150 runs in their first innings, the Indian team bounced back on day one of the first test against Australia. Led by Mohammed Siraj's brilliant bowling, India managed to restrict Australia to just 67/7 at the end of the day, giving them a lead of 83 runs. Siraj, who also recently made headlines for his appointment as a Deputy Superintendent of Police in Telangana, removed top batsmen like Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Marsh to put India in a favorable position.
In the ongoing AUS vs IND 1st Test match in Perth, Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli's poor performance continued as he dropped a crucial catch of Marnus Labuschagne on Day 1. After scoring just 5 runs with the bat, Kohli's dropped catch added to the team's struggles against Australia. Despite the disappointment, Kohli showed great sportsmanship by gesturing that he did not take the catch.
