His brilliant bowling effort prompted former Australia opening batter Matthew Hayden to label the left-arm pacer as a \u2018magician with the pink ball'.<p>\u201cHe has that scrambled seam delivery that goes across the right-hander, but when he does have that ability\u2014which he did\u2014I must admit I was a little surprised. I\u2019ve never really seen the pink ball swing into the sort of 40th over and so aggressively swing as well. By that stage, he used a really important word, and it\u2019s a bit of an underrated word as well, and that\u2019s momentum,\" Hayden told Star Sports at the end of the day's play in Adelaide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIt was all in favour of India. A difficult position to come back from in life and sport is those opportunities to wrestle back momentum, and Mitchell Starc did that in only the way he can\u2014when the lights are like the way they are and with that beautiful-coloured ball in his hand. He\u2019s just a magician with the Pink Ball,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Under overcast skies, Starc picked his best-ever Test figures of 6-48, including dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal with the very first ball of the game in front of a record 50,186 supporters. After that, India built their innings on the base of a 69-run partnership between KL Rahul and Shubman Gill. But Starc struck again with his double strike, removing Rahul and then Virat Kohli just before the end of the first session to hand the hosts the advantage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After a disappointing first innings, India came out to bowl under the evening sky at Adelaide and went on to get Usman Khawaja\u2019s wicket for 13 runs, after he was caught by Rohit Sharma off Bumrah\u2019s delivery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At stumps, Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne, unbeaten on 38 and 20 respectively, blunted India\u2019s bowlers in a solid show of discipline and defence in a tricky phase to stitch an unbroken 62-run stand for the second wicket and helped Australia reach 86\/1 in 33 overs and trail the visitors\u2019 by 94 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After a disappointing first innings, India came out to bowl under the evening sky at Adelaide and went on to get Usman Khawaja\u2019s wicket for 13 runs, after he was caught by Rohit Sharma off Bumrah\u2019s delivery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
