India to take on Australia in second test at Brisbane tomorrow

The second India-Australia Test match will begin in Brisbane tomorrow. Australia have made three changes to their team. Shaun Marsh replaced Australia's injured captain Michael Clarke in the batting line up, while Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc came in for fast bowlers Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle. On the other hand, bolstered by the return of regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India will look to regroup and fight their way back into the four-match series. In the absence of Dhoni, the visitors were ably led by stand-in skipper Virat Kohli, as they came very close to winning the first Test before agonisingly losing out on the fifth and final day by 48 runs in an intense chase.Meanwhile, Indian cricket team has been provided with adequate security in view of the Sydney hostage incident. Talking to reporters outside Parliament, Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said proper security cover has been assured to the team by the External Affairs Ministry. He said that the security is a very serious issue and cannot be compromised.
