ADELAIDE: Australia's pace spearhead Mitchell Starc on Friday said sticking to his go-to mantra of attacking the stumps with the new ball helped him strike early on the opening day of the pink-ball Test against India.
Starc was the standout performer on a lively Adelaide pitch, returning excellent figures of 6/48 to dismiss India for a mere 180 runs.
The 34-year-old dealt an early blow by dismissing young India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal leg-before on the first ball of the match, gaining a psychological edge over the visitors' batters right at the beginning.
"At the stumps, hit the pads. That's it. Nothing special," Starc said when asked at the end of the day's play about his plan of action against Perth centurion Jaiswal.
"That's been my role for a while: to attack the stumps and try and make early inroads. Pleased to sneak one past today. We know how important it is to make early inroads into this batting lineup," he said.
"It's always a nice way to start. It is a big Test match, it's a big series."
