India vs Australia 2025, 2nd ODI: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

India are facing Australia at the Adelaide Oval in the second ODI of the three-match series. The Men in Blue are 1-0 down in the series and need to win the second one-dayer to stay alive in the competition.

All the hype around Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma ahead of the opening ODI in Perth ended up in an anti-climax as the former was out for a duck, while the latter managed only eight runs. Both would be hoping to make amends in the second one-dayer as the Men in Blue continue building their side for the 2027 World Cup.

India had the rough end of the stick in Perth as they were forced to bat amid multiple rain interruptions. However, it would be fair to say that Australia's pacers outdid them as they top four looked completely at sea. Apart from Rohit and Kohli, skipper Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer would also be keen to make an impact.

Today's IND vs AUS pitch report

"There were some UV lights over the surface, an attempt to get some moisture out of the surface. The wicket is rock hard. There is a little bit of moisture at the top of the surface, so there should be a little bit of grip from the seam with that new ball." - Parthiv Patel and Shane Watson
