There have been 5 major reasons for India's defeat in the Pink Ball Test played in Adelaide. Let's take a look at the 5 reasons for India's defeat-

1. Won the toss and decided to bat first

There were clouds on the first day of the Adelaide Test and the fast bowlers were getting a lot of help on the pitch. In such a situation, a decision by Team India captain Rohit Sharma surprised everyone. When the toss took place in the Adelaide Test, captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. Team India's decision to bat first after winning the toss in overcast conditions was like a gift for Australia. The result was that Australia's fast bowlers took full advantage of the overcast conditions and destroyed the Indian batting lineup with the pink ball.

2. Team India collapsed for 180 runs in the first innings

After winning the toss and batting first, Team India collapsed for 180 runs in the first innings. Batsmen like Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), KL Rahul (37), Shubman Gill (31), Virat Kohli (7), Rishabh Pant (21), Rohit Sharma (3) were seen bowing down in front of the Kangaroo bowlers. Mitchell Starc took the highest number of 6 wickets from Australia. At the same time, Scott Boland and Pat Cummins got 2-2 wickets. Team India's condition was also bad in the second innings and it was all out for 175 runs. There were great expectations from Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and KL Rahul, but they left no stone unturned to spoil Team India's chances.

3. Change in batting order

Changing the batting order in this day-night test match played in Adelaide has proved fatal for Team India. In this pink ball test match, KL Rahul was given a chance to open, while captain Rohit Sharma himself came to bat at number 66. This decision of the Indian team management proved wrong. KL Rahul opened the innings in this match and scored 37 runs in the first innings and 7 runs in the second innings. At the same time, captain Rohit Sharma's performance while batting at number 6 was very poor. Rohit Sharma batted at number-6 in this match and scored 3 runs in the first innings and 6 runs in the second innings.

4. Travis Head's century

Australia's dashing batsman Travis Head smashed Team India's bowlers in the first innings and scored 140 runs in 141 balls. This inning of Travis Head has proved to be the biggest turning point of this match. Travis Head toyed with the Indian bowlers and hit 17 fours and 4 sixes. Travis Head batted at a strike rate of 99.29 in this Test match and helped Australia reach a score of 337 runs. Thanks to Travis Head, Australia had gained a lead of 157 runs against India in the first innings. Travis Head ensured India's defeat by scoring 140 runs.

5. India's poor bowling with the pink ball

In this day-night test match played in Adelaide, the bowlers of the Indian team bowled very poorly with the pink ball. Harshit Rana had to struggle due to a lack of experience in bowling with the pink ball in the Adelaide Test. Harshit Rana conceded 86 runs in 16 overs in Australia's first innings and could not achieve any success. Akash Deep can be selected in place of Harshit Rana for the third test to be held in Brisbane.
