Harbhajan Singh believes Australia’s batting is too fragile to come up good against the potent Indian bowling. Australia’s inexperience in the batting unit has been palpable as the team has been let down by ordinary performances. The hosts were bundled out for 151 in the first innings. However, they came with a better batting performance in the second innings to score 261.

In fact, Pat Cummins was able to rescue Australia from an ignominious defeat as he scored a valiant knock of 63 runs. Meanwhile, Australia has looked vulnerable after their two best batsmen, Steven Smith and David Warner have been banned.

India comes up with a complete performance.

On the other hand, India’s pace bowling unit has impressed one and all. The pace troika of Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah have ticked the right boxes.

Jasprit Bumrah was the cynosure of all eyes as scalped his best bowling figures of 6-33. Furthermore, Bumrah added three more wickets to his bag in the second dig. Consequently, India’s bowling line-up has done a fine job.

Meanwhile, former Australian gun paceman Mitchell Johnson showered praise on the lethal bowling line-up. Johnson said India were too good in all the three departments of the game.

Johnson took to Twitter to share his thoughts. The post read as, “India just too good in all departments this Test, well done ?? 2-1 to India means Australia will need to fight in Syd to stop India winning the series. Enjoy your New Years ?”.
