Australian Cricket Team would be riding high on confidence after winning the Test Series by 2-0 against South Africa. The Aussies showed a collective performance where they bamboozled the Proteas. Skipper Pat Cummins would be mightily pleased with the team’s performance.

Aussies are going to play Test Series in India after 6 years as last time in 2017, they failed to win the series after being 1-0 up. The likes of Smith & Warner would be well aware of the fact that they need to step up & guide the rest of the batters against a quality Indian line-up.

Pat Cummins on India Test Series

Pat Cummins was having an interaction with reporters and was asked about the upcoming India tour. “I think we’re as good a chance as we’re ever going to be. It was another fantastic summer. I feel like we’re adapting really well. Having the experience of Pakistan and Sri Lanka last year has put us in really good stead for India. No one is going over there blind. We’ll use the next few weeks to reflect on the next 12 months and then get over there really refreshed and eager.” said Pat Cummins.

“A left-arm orthodox, he’ll absolutely be there. It wasn’t an audition at all. I thought he did really well. There was 800 runs and three wickets for spin during the game. It wasn’t easy for him but I thought he did his role well. The wicket probably didn’t play exactly as we would have thought. Hoping it would have broken up a bit more, spun a bit more. It probably wasn’t a classic India wicket we would have expected,” he added.

Exciting Contest on Cards

Head Coach Andrew McDonald & skipper Pat Cummins would be worried as they don’t have a reliable 2nd spinner present. Every time Nathan Lyon won’t take wickets as he would require some sort of support. It is assumed that the pitches for the Test Series would be rank turners.

India on the other hand has a huge conundrum about whether to stick with KL Rahul or not as the batter looked in all sorts of trouble in the Bangladesh Tests. A billion people would be hoping that the skipper Rohit Sharma hits form as he has the knack of playing long & effective innings.
