India opt to bat first against Australia in Adelaide Test, Rohit Sharma announces three changes

India won the toss and opted to bat first against Australia in the second match of the series on Friday.

Regular skipper Rohit Sharma is leading the squad after taking a break in the opening match of the series.

Indin speedster Jasprit Bumrah was playing the role of captain in Sharma's absence and under his leadership the visitors beat Australia to take 1-0 lead.

Adelaide Oval is the same venue where India were bowled out for 36 in a pink ball Test during their last visit to the country to play a series.

Sharma will play down the order, giving way for KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings after Perth's success.

India also added Shubman Gill and Ravichandran Ashwin to the side, replacing Dhruv Jurel, Devdutt Padikkal, and Washington Sundar.
