India wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul reflected on his side's win over Australia in the Perth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and said that they have taken a lot of confidence from the victory.

The Adelaide Test, starting on 6 December, sees India entering with both a mental and physical edge, following a dominant performance in the first Test led by Jasprit Bumrah's bowling and captaincy.

However, the visitors will also aim to exorcise the memories of the infamous 2020 Adelaide pink-ball Test, where they were dismissed for their lowest Test score of 36 runs. On that occasion, Pat Cummins (4/21) and Josh Hazlewood (5/8) dismantled the Indian batting line-up, giving Australia a straightforward target of 90 runs to chase.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, KL Rahul said that he was happy with the way Team India played in the Perth Test and the victory in the opening Test of the series gave them a lot of confidence since it was the opening game.
