On December 6, India will lock horns against Australia in the 2nd match of the ongoing five-game series. Adelaide Oval will host the 2nd Test, and it will be a pink ball game. The last time India played a Day/Night match, they suffered humiliation and bowled out for 36. 

Talking about Australia, they boast a good record in Pink ball Tests but suffered a defeat in their previous D/N Test against West Indies in Perth. Thus, the Aussies too are under pressure as they also trail 0-1 in the series. 

Nonetheless, this article will shed light on three players who are likely to perform the best in the Pink Ball Test based on their recent form, display in the net sessions and practice matches. 

1. Shubman Gill

Gill, who missed the first Test in Perth because of a thumb injury, will be a part of the 2nd Test and likely to bat at No.3. Gill shrugged off any injury concerns during the pink ball warm-up game against AUS PM XI, where he retired after scoring an unbeaten fifty. 

Further, the last knock Gill played on Australian soil was the famous 91 he scored against Australia in Perth.

2. Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah's ability and talent need no introduction. He is the main bowler for the Indian team going into the pink-ball Test. Further, Bumrah was the most impactful bowler in the first Test, and now, since the pink ball offers more help to the seamers, Bumrah would be a greater threat to the Australian batters.
