It’s the much-anticipated Test series and fans and experts all over social media look all set for a thrilling encounter. Here are some of the most interesting posts related to the high-pitched battled.

We all know Wasim Jaffer as a quiet and composed player. And then there is his social media, where he just does not spare anybody.

Australia need to know who their top order is ? #AusvInd https://t.co/tRlrGdoqEi

If you had to watch just one video today, this could be it.

Double ? sighting ?

That’s an interesting take. But does this have buyers?

All the talk around Adelaide Test is about pace bowlers because of pink ball, but my gut feel is that Ashwin will be the key for India. Even last time he set the tone for the series by picking the top order. With the harder ball during the day Ash will be very crucial #AusvInd

Prithvi Shaw ahead of Shubhman Gill has left the social media on fire. But this one seems a sensible opinion.

I don't know what Kohli's thinking behind it is, but I like Shaw ahead of Gill here. You don't want to overwhelm a kid at Adelaide in front of a crowd in his first ever test match. And then the moving pink cherry under the lights! #AUSvsIND

Trust this man to convey any point with great clarity.

I think on the issue of Shaw vs Gill, they have chosen to give the incumbent the opportunity to prove himself. These are marginal decisions where the team management chooses to show faith in a player. I see Gill playing in the middle order soon unless the opener's slot opens up

And did not he answer that well?

I just saw an interview with Virat Kohli where the first question was:
