The second test match between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide. This test match will be day-night in which pink ball will be used instead of red. This will be a very important match for both the teams which is going to start from 6th December. Before this match, both the teams are preparing vigorously. Batsmen of both India and Australia teams are spending a lot of time in the nets. Meanwhile, disappointing news has come for the fans of Australia team.
Actually, Australia’s ace batsman Steve Smith has got injured while practicing in the nets. Smith suffered a finger injury during a practice session. Smith’s right hand was injured by Marnus Labuschagne’s throwdown and the physio was immediately called. The physio assessed the injury and then Smith left the practice midway. Cricket Australia has not yet given any statement regarding Smith’s injury.
Earlier in the day, there was news of Marnus Labuschagne getting injured. In a video going viral on social media, Labuschagne was seen sitting on the ground after getting injured. However, after some time he again became busy in practice. Australia is already struggling with the problem of injured players. Recently, the team’s fast bowler Josh Hazlewood was ruled out of the second test and now the injuries to Smith and Labuschagne during practice can put Australia in great tension.
There will be a huge competition in Adelaide
The host Australian team is already under a lot of pressure after losing the first Test by 295 runs in Perth. In such a situation, the Kangaroo team is eyeing a comeback in the second test.
