Rohit Sharma from India failed to make a comeback after he lost his wicket on six runs on the second day of the 2nd test match against Australia. In the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy, India is on the batting pitch currently and trailing by 29 runs with a loss of five wickets and 128 runs. 

India has been struggling with their bat since yesterday, a day when the second test match was started with Australia as they failed to give proper score and got all out on 180 runs in their first inning. 

Australia on the other hand crossed the score and took lead in the match by making 357 runs with a classic comeback of Travis Head who made first century in 2024/2025 season by playing a knock of 140 runs. 

With a return on batting, India in their second inning again struggled with their bat with continuous fall of wickets of star players including Yashaswi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma. 

Now, Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy from India are on the strike and they need to cross the lead along with setting massive score which could be difficult to chase for Australians. Now, Adelaide has been hosting the second test match between the two teams and the match is scheduled to run through December 10, 2024.
