With batters looking to get some batting practiceahead of the pink ball Test in Adelaide, they would have certainly been disappointed. Check India vs PM XI Day 2 LIVE SCORE UPDATES HERE  Day 2 now will have a 50-over contest between the sides if the weather allows so as to give the teams some batting practice ahead of the 2nd Test. 

While India will be up against some junior talents in the match, with just two days of game time in hand, they won’t have much to try out. However, it will be the best opportunity for players like Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill to get in touch before the second Test after missing the first Test. 

On the other hand, the Prime Minister’s XI will have multiple under-19 and domestic talents taking the field, which will help them gain top-level exposure to improve their game and increase their chances of being called up to the national side.
