IND vs AUS 2nd Test: The Men in Blue began Day 3 in the worst possible fashion as Mitchell Starc struck early by taking the wicket of Rishabh Pant with a ripper. After his wicket, the visitors are inching closer to losing the second Test match in Adelaide.

The incident happened during the 25th over of the third innings when Pant was trying to help India bounce back along with Nitish Kumar Reddy. Although Starc did take some time to end this partnership he dismissed Pant with a peachy delivery.

Starc bowled a full lengthy delivery from over the wicket and hit Pant's off-stump. Pant did try to smash a hard-hearted drive, the ball touched the outside edge, as Steve Smith took a simple catch while standing in the slips.

It was the third time that Rishabh Pant failed to convert his start in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The star wicket-keeper batter who had a dream run the last time India played in Australia, has been unable to fire with the bat this time.
