No one would have expected the kind of defeat Team India suffered in the Adelaide Test. Team India collapsed within 200 runs in both the innings. India's condition was worse in the second innings as compared to the first innings. The result was that India lost by 10 wickets in the second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This defeat of India is being discussed a lot. Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan also made fun of India after their defeat in the Adelaide Test.
Michael Vaughan often keeps taunting Team India. Now, after India's defeat by 10 wickets, Michael Vaughan would have let the opportunity slip away. After India's defeat, he made a post on social media which rubbed salt into India's wounds. The former England captain posted a picture on social media. In this, a crowd of thousands of fans is seen on the cricket ground. With this photo, Michael has written, 'This is the field that India needed for Travis Head… #AUSvIND.'

In this match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first and his decision was proved wrong by the Australian bowlers. Team India could score only 180 runs in the first innings. Starc took 6 wickets. Whereas Australia scored 337 runs in its first innings. Travis Head's stormy innings of 140 runs made a big difference. This was not the first time that Travis Head troubled Team India. Earlier last year, he had also scored centuries in the final of the ODI World Cup and the final of the World Test Championship.
The Kangaroo team had taken a lead of more than 150 runs over India after scoring 337 runs in the second innings. After this, India's second innings collapsed for 175 runs. India gave Australia a modest target of just 19 runs. Without losing any wicket, the Kangaroo team achieved the target in the fourth over and leveled the five-match series at one point.
