Team India Playing 11 in Pink Ball Test: 

In the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between Australia and India in Adelaide, there have been three significant changes to Team India. The Australian squad has also undergone one change.

Dhruv Jurel, Devdutt Padikkal, and Washington Sundar, who participated in the Perth Test, are not playing in the Adelaide Test. Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin have rejoined the team. Josh Hazlewood is injured, so Scott Boland is playing for the Australian team instead.

Experienced Ravichandran Ashwin, who has an incredible record in day-night Test matches, was given a chance in the playing eleven in place of Sundar. Ashwin took 18 wickets at an average of 13.83 in his four day-night Test matches for India. In addition, Ashwin has taken 16 wickets in three Test matches and played at the Adelaide Oval with great skill.

After eighteen months, Scott Boland is playing his first game for Australia in this match. During the Ashes series last year, Boland played his final Test match. In the Kangaroo squad, he took Josh Hazlewood's place after the latter was hurt in the opening game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Perth.

India's Adelaide Test Playing XI:

Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Rohit Sharma (captain), Nitish Reddy, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshit Rana, Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj  

Australia's playing XI for Adelaide Test:
