On Friday, December 6, the 2nd Test between India and Australia kicked off at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide. India won the toss and opted to bat first. The decision turned out to be a nightmare as Jaiswal got out on the first ball of the match. 

Jaiswal, who smashed a brilliant 161 in the first Test, surrendered to Starc's brilliance and was trapped in front of the wickets on the first ball of the match. With the feat, he joined an embarrassing list of players with a duck on the first ball of a Test match.

Notably, Jaiswal became the fourth player in history to be out on the 1st ball of a Test in Australia. Here is the complete list. 

• Archie MacLaren (England): 1894
• Stan Worthington (England): 1936
• Rory Burns (England): 2021
• Yashasvi Jaiswal (India): Today
