Australia bounced back from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opening game loss in Perth and drew level in the five-match series with an impressive 10-wicket win over India in the Pink Ball Test at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Sunday (December 8).

Team India led by stand in captain Jasprit Bumrah had claimed the lead after dominating the hosts led by Pat Cummins in the first Test at the Optus Stadium last month, when the visitors ran out victors by 295 runs.

Bumrah had led from the front, claiming a five-wicket haul to get India in the contest after a poor batting show in the first innings, where they posted just 150. In response, Australia were bowled out for 104.

The Indian batters did well in the second innings, riding on a century from Yashasvi Jaiswal, who shared a huge opening stand with KL Rahul before the visitors declared for 487/6 moments after Virat Kohli smashed a century.

The home side then produced a little better batting performance thanks to Travis Head, but they could only manage 238 runs in their run-chase of 534 after Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj ran through the top order.

After facing all the heat for the manner in defeat and performance from the batters, the Australians bounced back in the day-night Test in Adelaide, registering a 10-wicket in their chase of just 19 in the fourth innings.

Rohit Sharma returned to the helm as India made three changes to their winning combination. Skipper Rohit, who batted in the middle order, opted to bat first in the Pink Ball Test, which started with a first-ball dismissal of Jaiswal.

What followed next was a Mitchell Starc six-wicket haul that bundled out the visitors for 180 in the first innings before Marnus Labuschagne returned to form with a fifty and the Indian cricket team's chief tormentor Head scored a century to take a 157-run lead.

Rohit's men once again faltered batting under lights as his counterpart Cummins led from the front with a fifer to floor the visitors for 170 on the third day of the second Test. Australian openers were untroubled as they chased down the target in 3.2 overs.

Now, the focus shifts to the third Test, which could be vital for the series and the World Test Championship (WTC) final race. Here is all you need to know about the IND vs AUS 3rd Test Dates and venue:
