It is quite rare for Indian cricketers to walk to the team hotel after a training session without any hustle and bustle. Such is the accessibility and the convenience of the Adelaide Oval that the visitors are in a state of comfort.

If there was a sense of discomfort, it came in the form of a spicy practice pitch at the Adelaide Oval nets where Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah gave the Indian batsmen a torrid time. Such was the zip of the surface that the enthusiastic pacers overstepped the line a few times to thrive for that extra yard of pace.
