The Indian top-order collapsed yet again even as the Australian attack overcame a comeback partnership by Ravindra Jadeja and Ajinkya Rahane to take firm control of the WTC final on Day 2 at the Oval in London. At the close of play on Day 2, India had posted 151/5 at The Oval with KS Bharat and Rahane remaining unbeaten at the crease as the stumps were drawn at the end of the final session.

Meanwhile, former India captain Virat Kohli was at the receiving end of trolls after he was spotted having food in the dressing room with other squad members following his dismal return in the first innings. Several Twitter users attempted to insinuate that the 35-year-old was unserious about the summit clash at the Oval.
