India vs Australia 2018, 1st Test, Day 1, Adelaide Oval, Live Streaming: When and where to watch and follow live

India suffered a major blow when young Prithvi Shaw, who was zeroed in for opening batting, twisted his ankle during a training session. Shaw s injury could result in KL Rahul opening the batting alongside Murali Vijay, who brought up his century in spectacular fashion during the only warm-up match. Vijay tonked five boundaries, including two sixes off part-timer Jake Carter to go from 74 to 100 in six balls.

Cheteshwar Pujara will occupy the No. 3 spot, while Kohli will come at his usual No. 4. Vihari might just have the edge over Rohit given his contribution to the bowling department. On debut in England, after smashing a half-century, Vihari followed it up with three wickets.

Probable XI

1. Murali Vijay, 2. KL Rahul, 3. Cheteshwar Pujara, 4. Virat Kohli (captain), 5. Ajinkya Rahane, 6. Hanuma Vihari, 7. Rishabh Pant, 8. Ravichandran Ashwin, 9. Mohammed Shami, 10. Ishant Sharma, 11. Jasprit Bumrah

Quotes

I personally don t think any Australian side is vulnerable at home. You cannot take any side for granted. Whatever happened, the skill level is still there. However much you talk or behave, it s your skill that counts. They still have the skill to dominate at home. We re not taking anything for granted. Virat Kohli
