India were 72 for one against Australia on the first day in their 2nd Cricket test at Brisbane when reports last came in. Shikhar Dhawan and Murli Vijay are at the crease when reports last came in. Earlier, India won the toss and elected to bat first. Australia has taken 1-0 lead in the 4 test series. In the Brisbane match, 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 is looking 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.
