India lost the second ODI against Australia in Adelaide, ending a 17-year winning streak at the venue. Shubman Gill, in his first match as ODI captain, led the team to a disappointing series loss. Virat Kohli's consecutive ducks and a goodbye gesture sparked retirement speculations, while Rohit Sharma's 73 went in vain as India set a target of 265 but fell short. Young bowler Xavier Bartlett dismissed Kohli, marking a historic moment in the series.

India's record at Adelaide is set to be challenged as Travis Head and Virat Kohli, the respective nightmares of India and Australia, clash in the upcoming 'Battle at Adelaide'. Kohli's previous heroics at the venue have led to jokes from MS Dhoni about naming a stand after him. As the teams prepare for the 2nd ODI, India's stars were seen enjoying dinner in Adelaide, while fans and experts alike wonder if Kohli can rekindle his magic in one last dance at the Adelaide Oval. The predicted XIs for the match suggest that Kuldeep Yadav might finally get a chance to play. However, rain is a potential spoilsport, with weather forecasts indicating a possibility of showers. Despite this, India is favored to level the series, with numbers backing their chances. Kohli and Rohit Sharma face a litmus test in Adelaide, with the latter's form being a cause for concern after a shock in the previous match. Meanwhile, Indonesia's JAFF Future Project has unveiled 10 Asia-Pacific titles and renewed its partnership with Adelaide.
