IND vs AUS: What Happened When They Last Played?

India was bundled out for 180 in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) against Australia, where the hosts dominated on day one and eventually took the series 1-1. Australia levelled the series by dominating day one after India won the toss, struggling on the tough pitch to get past the target. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed off the first ball, and despite solid starts from Rahul and Gill, the team continued to collapse. Nitish Kumar Reddy's fighting 40s in both innings was the lone bright spot for India.

Australia replied with a dominating 337, courtesy of a scintillating century from Travis Head and essential contributions from Marnus Labuschagne (64). India again failed to handle the pink-ball challenge and suffered a 10-wicket defeat. Pat Cummins's five-wicket haul and Starc's support cleaned up India's second innings for 175.
