Virat Kohli, the former Indian captain who is highly praised and sometimes cursed for his aggressive nature, silenced the Gabba crowd after taking Marnus Labuschagne's catch at the slip. Labuschagne, who was looking in good touch, faced 54 balls, scoring 12 runs without a boundary. However, on his 55th ball, he slightly edged a wider outside-off ball from Nitish Reddy that went to Virat Kohli at the slip. Kohli made no mistake, leaped a bit, palmed the ball, and celebrated with his trademark aggression. With that, he put his fingers on the lips, gesturing the crowd to go silent.

However, India could only bowl 13 full overs until rain came and washed away the entire day. Day 2 started half an hour earlier, to compensate for the overloss. However, there was no change in behavior from the Gabba crowd. The moment Siraj was handed the ball for his first over on day 2, the crowd booed him again.

Travis Head half century, Smith back in form The Indian bowlers undeniably lacked rhythm in the first day but were seen totally in mood in the first session. Jasprit Bumrah got early breakthrough, taking Usman Khwaja behind the stumps for 21 and Nathan McSweeney at the slip for 9. Akash Deep, the replacement for Harshit Rana, who seemed like the only bowler to ease India's tension on Day 1, has nicely complemented Bumrah from the other side, blocking runs, but stayed wicketless. Nitish Reddy got the third wicket, but then no smiles came for India after that. India used Ravindra Jadeja a bit later, who managed to get some bounce on the pitch but has gotten flat with time. Australia is nearing 200 runs, having Travis Head complete his half century, creating gaps in the oddest setting, and getting runs in almost every ball. Smith too got his half ton after suffering a dip in form. India will like to break the partnership; otherwise, it's going to be heavy for them.
