Boland, known for his impeccable accuracy, delivered a short shot that swung beautifully, curving from mid on to the fourth line of off stump. Jaiswal, trying to defend, sent the ball to the wicketkeeper Alex Carey. This marked a significant breakthrough for Australia as they tightened their grip on the match.

Boland celebrated exuberantly, punching the air in front of Jaiswal before running towards Carey to celebrate. The dismissal, reminiscent of his near-wicket in the first innings (void due to a no ball), showed Boland's ability to exploit the conditions perfectly.

Despite his brilliant century in the first Test in Perth, Jaiswal had an unforgettable outing in Adelaide, even in India's first innings he was dismissed for a golden duck by the Australian speedster. Mitchell Starc. Starc's lethal delivery at 140.4 km/h hit leg stump, went wide late and trapped Jaiswal lbw as he missed an attempted flick. Falling to Starc's first ball in the first innings and Boland's first ball in the second innings marked a disappointing contrast to his earlier form.
