Australia vs India second Test player ratings: 'Alarming stat' clouds Steve Smith despite dominant victory
Second Test player ratings
Australia have levelled the Test series against India in emphatic fashion, winning by 10 wickets at Adelaide Oval.
Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc both starred with the ball, but it was Travis Head who stole the show with a brilliant match-winning century on his home turf.
Some other stars in the Aussie side struggled despite the win, and there will be plenty of question marks lingering heading into the third Test.
Wide World Of Sports takes a look at how every Aussie player fared in a short and sweet Test triumph.
Nathan McSweeney - 6
The fresh face in the side had a solid display in Adelaide after a tough introduction to Test cricket in Perth.
Nathan McSweeney - 6
McSweeney batted well for his 39 in the first innings and finished unbeaten on 10 as the Aussies clinched a big win.
He also took two catches for the Test.
Usman Khawaja - 3
Another disappointing performance for the opener, who was out for 13 in the first innings.
Khawaja finished not-out on 9 in the second dig as the Aussies chased down a low total set by the tourists.
Usman Khawaja - 3
Khawaja had a mixed outing in the field, shelling a catch on the opening day but taking one in each innings.
Marnus Labuschagne - 7
With the pressure mounting on his spot in the team, Labuschagne bounced back to form with a half-century.
The right-hander scored 64 and looked much more comfortable than in Perth.
Marnus Labuschagne - 7
Labuschagne took one catch for the game but didn't bowl.
Steve Smith - 2
It was another ugly match for Smith, who was out to Bumrah once again.
The former skipper scored 2 off 11 before hitting a ball down the leg-side to Pant and is horribly out of form.
Steve Smith - 2
Smith's lean run has seen him now go 24 innings without scoring a century - the longest of his Test career.
It's an alarming stat that has many wondering if Smith will ever return to his former glory.
Travis Head - 10
While some of the other Aussie batters struggled against the pink ball, Head absolutely dominated on his home deck.
The left-hander scored 140 from 141 balls to completely turn the game on its head and help the side to victory.
