The 2nd cricket test match between India-and Australia begins at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru today. Following a big loss in Pune, the hosts will be looking to bounce back from a demoralising drubbing in the opening Test in Pune and restore parity in the four-match Test series. Indian captain Virat Kohli assured that his team will never repeat the kind of bad performance and lack of intent that led to the humiliating opening Test loss to Australia in Pune. The Indians were hammered by 333 runs in the first Test inside three days in a stunning defeat, which ended their 19-match unbeaten streak. Countering rival Australian captain Steve Smith's assertion that India were under pressure due to an unexpected debacle in the series-opener, Kohli asserted that he and his team are relaxed. Smith, speaking to media yesterday said they were just one win away from reclaiming the series and the hosts must be feeling the heat since they are trailing.
