Like the Perth pitch in the first Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, the Adelaide pitch for the second Test will have a uniform grass covering of 6 mm. On Wednesday, December 4, Damian Hough, the pitch curator at Adelaide Oval, told the press that, whatever the conditions are, will aid the seamers more. However, Hough assured that they have tried to make the pitch balanced so that batters and both pacers and spinners will have a good run there. But with the lights turned on, and in an overcast situation, it will be a seamer-friendly wicket. Hough said, as quoted, "History suggests that it is hard to bat under lights in Adelaide. The pitch will have 6mm of grass. We are trying to produce a pitch that would be a good contest. The pitch did not play a part in the Test match finishing in 3 days last time India were here. I thought that it was really good bowling from Australia. As long as there is something in it for all aspects of the game, I am happy, I just want a good contest." Day 1 at Adelaide probably will have some thundershowers, having an 88% chance of rain. As per Hough, the ball will swing, but pitch will have no such effect as much as the weather will do such to the ball. He further added, "The ball hooping around has got nothing to do with the pitch. Under right conditions, right weather, the ball will move." The Adelaide pitch for 2nd Test Match between India vs Australia.

However, Josh Hazlewood, one of their prime bowlers in the pink ball Tests, has been ruled out due to a side strain. Scott Boland has barged in his place. Read Also: Will Australia miss Hazlewood? Speaking about India in Adelaide, it was this field where India registered their lowest score in an inning, and that is 36. In the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy, first Test at Adelaide, India were 36 all in the second innings, with Hazlewood taking five wickets and Pat Cummins taking 5. Notably, the Indian team is walking into the second test in the ongoing BGT after sealing a historic 295-run win against the Australians. A 4-0 or a 3-0 win in the series will ensure India a smooth qualification for the World Test Champion Final next year.
