NEW DELHI: Shubman Gill's promising return to the Indian Test side was cut short on the opening day of the pink-ball second Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Friday. Making a comeback after missing the Perth Test due to injury, Gill looked in good touch but fell victim to his nemesis, Scott Boland, as India endured a wobbly first session.
Coming in after Mitchell Starc dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck on the first ball of the match, Gill and KL Rahul steadied India with a solid 69-run partnership for the second wicket. The pair looked comfortable under the lights until Rahul's dismissal, for 37 runs, triggered a mini-collapse late in the session.
