Rain temporarily stopped play, with play resuming tomorrow. The second test will take place in Adelaide on Thursday; thereafter India will travel to Sydney for two final ODI matches of their five-match ODI series against Australia at home; though they never managed a series victory during 2023 ODI World Cup they did manage four wins out of five matches at home!
The series is being described as a battle of titans, as both teams boast exceptional talent. Both have performed exceptionally across all three formats of cricket and hope to extend their dominance against one another.

Their rivalry will only intensify over time. Both countries are considered among the finest worldwide and will vie to take home top honors during competitions to come.
