The second Test between India and Australia was dominated by the hosts, who won the match by 6 wickets. Former captain Virat Kohli played a crucial role in India's first innings, scoring 44 runs and contributing to the team's total of 262 runs. However, he was unable to replicate his performance in the second innings and was dismissed for 20 by Todd Murphy.

Despite his poor show with the bat, Kohli remained a crowd favourite, as shown in a viral video clip of fans chanting 'RCB, RCB!' at him during the Delhi Test. Kohli responded by pointing to the word 'India' on his jersey to remind them that it was an international fixture, and the crowd quickly switched to chanting 'India, India.'

The third day of the Test was dominated by spinners Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin, who took 9 wickets in a single session, leading the visitors to collapse at a score of 113. Jadeja was the star of the innings, with career-best figures of 7/42, earning him the Player of the Match award.

India faced a bit of a challenge when it was time to chase the target of 115, as top-order batsmen Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul departed early. However, Cheteshwar Pujara and KS Bharat steadied the innings and led the team to victory. Pujara, playing his 100th Test, hit the winning runs, giving India an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-Test series.
