Will Australia's 'big mistake' on Day 1 of Adelaide Test cost them dear

India couldn't make much of their decision to bat first after winning the toss in the second Test against Australia in Adelaide, which is a day-night match played with the pink ball. But Australia may still rue one decision they didn't take during India's first innings on Friday, which folded up for just 180.

Other than all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy's counter-attacking 42 off 54 balls, only opener KL Rahul (37) and Shubman Gill (31) got starts that they couldn't convert into a significant knock. However, if it was not for Reddy's knock in the lower middle-order and Ashwin's run-a-ball 22, India might have folded up for under 150.
