India vs Australia PM XI Match Live Updates: Happy headache
With Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill hitting the nets on Friday, it means a challenging prospect for the Indian support staff over what changes to make in the batting line-up for the second Test.

Welcome back once again to Timesofindia.com's extensive coverage of Indian cricket team's tour of Australia, which will head into the visitors' only practice match of the tour, which will be played under lights at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, to get some pink-ball practice before the day-night second Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide.
The Indian team will engage in a pink-ball preparatory match before their second Test against Australia, which will be played under lights. Led by Rohit Sharma, the team will compete against the Prime Ministers XI in a two-day match under lights at Canberra's Manuka Oval. This practice game is vital to India's readiness for the pink ball. This practice match carries additional importance, considering it was the pink ball that proved challenging for India during their previous Australian tour in 2020-21, when the renowned Indian batting lineup collapsed for a mere 36 runs.
