Preview
India have taken an early lead in the four-match series as they defeated Australia by an inning and 132 runs in the Nagpur Test. The visitors just could not get over the pitch talk and succumbed to straight balls rather than the big turners. Only Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne seemed to understand what was really happening in the middle. Nevertheless, they too could not hold the fort for long enough and India sneaked in an easy win. India, meanwhile, just rode on Ravindra Jadeja’s, Rohit Sharma’s, R Ashwin’s and Axar Patel’s excellence. Now, as the two teams get ready to lock horns again, it will be interesting to see if Australia can bounce back or if India will continue to dominate at home.

1. Toss Prediction
In Test cricket, Toss plays a crucial role as the team batting second faces a tough challenge in the fourth innings. Pat Cummins won that important toss in Nagpur but his team could not capitalize on it. Nevertheless, there will be a ½ probability for Rohit Sharma and Pat Cummins but the visiting captain can get a second time lucky.
2. Win Possibility
Although Australia are expected to win, it does not look like that they will win the match. The Pat Cummins-led team was completely outclassed by India. Australia will be looking to put that humiliating defeat behind them and put forth their best performance. But it won’t be an easy task considering how India’s spin trio is performing. The Rohit Sharma-led team will be once again the favourites.
3. First Innings score
The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is suited for the batters like any Indian pitch. However, it deteriorates as the game progresses. The average first-inning score at Arun Jaitley Stadium is 342.
