Australia got off to the best possible start to the pink-ball Test in Adelaide as Mitchell Starc pinned Yashasvi Jaiswal in front of the stumps of the very first ball. India had won the toss and opted to bat first earlier even as skipper Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Ravichandran Ashwin returned to the playing XI.

Coming back to Jaiswal's dismissal, the young left-hander registered a golden duck for the first time in his Test career and became the seventh Indian overall to get out on the first ball of the match. Meanwhile, Starc created a special feat by picking up a wicket off the first ball of the Test match for the third time in his illustrious career.

In this aspect, he equalled West Indies fast bowler Pedro Collins' world record. Collins dismissed a single batter thrice off the opening delivery of a Test three times across two years. Hannan Sarkar of Bangladesh was the player to get out to the Caribbean bowler as he could never get hold of him.

As for Starc, he has dismissed Dimuth Karunaratne, Rory Burns and Yashasvi Jaiswal on the first ball of the match and given his reputation, the left-arm fast bowler is expected to do it at least once more before he calls it quits from the format.
