Ahead of the second Test match, former cricketer Adam Gilchrist has advised struggling Australian batsmen to stay longer at the crease to dominate the Indian bowling attack led by Jasprit Bumrah.

Adam Gilchrist also backed Marnus Labuschagne to regain his form. After Bumrah scythed through the Australian batting line-up, taking eight wickets including a five-for in the first innings at Perth, Gilchrist advised the hosts to "weather the storm".
