India dominated the Prime Minister's XI in a pink-ball ODI warm-up match, providing valuable preparation for the challenging conditions in Adelaide. Rohit Sharma led the team to a comfortable win, with the match offering a chance to adjust to day-night dynamics ahead of the second Test against Australia. However, the challenge remains steep, as Australia has never lost a pink-ball Test.

India will draw confidence from the return of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, both of whom missed the first Test in Perth. Ahead of the match, key decisions await, including finalizing the batting order. Virat Kohli is set for the number 4 spot, but Rohit, struggling at the top, might move to number 5 to counter Australia’s swing bowlers. His stint at 4 in the warm-up hints at this strategic shift, aiming to break Australia’s pink-ball dominance.
