india vs australia
IND vs AUS: A five-match Test series is being played between India and Australia. Team India won the first match of this series. The Australian team had won the second match of the series. The third match of the series ended in a draw. Team India has taken advantage of Australia’s weak top order during this series. Meanwhile, former coach of Team India Ravi Shastri has given a big statement regarding the top order of the Australian team. He has said that India is the main contender for victory in the Boxing Day Test match. He also said that Team India has taken full advantage of the weakness of Australia’s top order. Shastri also said that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah single-handedly took India to this position.
What did Shastri say?
Speaking to News.com.au, Shastri said that looking at the current situation of the series, I think India is on the lead. It is inspiring for any overseas team to draw 1-1 after playing on difficult grounds like Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. He also said that tying the series before the Boxing Day Test is a good position for India. Shastri believes that India can now take the field with confidence.
Australia’s top order, which includes Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne, looked weak against Bumrah. Because of this, Australia was forced to drop McSweeney and give a debut opportunity to young opener Sam Konstas. Shastri said that right now Australia’s top order seems weak. The Indian team has taken advantage of this and I am sure it will take advantage of it in future also.
Said this about Bumrah
Praising Bumrah, Shastri said that the credit for India reaching this position goes to Bumrah, who put Australia’s batting under pressure with his brilliant bowling. Overall, Shastri said that India will play with confidence and positivity in the Boxing Day Test. This test match will start at 5.00 am Indian time.
