Virat Kohli Will "Embrace" Day-Night Test Challenge In Australia - Steve Waugh

Twelve months ago, India ended a 71-year wait for their maiden Test series win in Australia. However, Australia are a different team now with Steve Smith and David Warner back in the side having served one-year ball-tampering bans. Speaking of the same, the great Steve Waugh says the Test series between the “two best sides” will be remembered for a long time and hopes India play a day-night game Down Under.

The Virat Kohli-led side outsmarted Tim Paine-led Australian side in the 4-match Test series, which was the first time for an Indian team in the cricket history. It was the series, which was rated above the World Cup victory by the Indian skipper Virat Kohli.

Everyone is looking forward to it already – Steve Waugh

Once again, at the end of this year (2020), the Indian team will travel to Australia for a Test series. This time, they will face a different unit, as the two superstars of Australia- David Warner and Steve Smith are back in the playing XI. Steve Waugh stated that the series is going to be massive with all the fans waiting for the encounter.

“It is always a great series, Australia and India. It has become a tradition. I think it is going to be an outstanding series. Everyone is looking forward to it already. Look there is no doubt it (David and Steve) will make our team stronger. But there is no doubt that India right now is the best all-round cricket side in the world, they will welcome that challenge. It will be a series that people will remember for a long time,” he said.

Virat Kohli will welcome Pink ball Test:

Further, Steve Waugh added that the Day/night Test match between India and Australia would be a spectacular event. He feels India must win against Australia to tick the box of “Best Team In The World”.

“It is a real challenge for teams to play day-night cricket in Australia. Someone like Virat Kohli will welcome and embrace it. If you are the best side in the world, you are expected to win against all opponents in all conditions. India probably needs to tick that box,” said the World Cup-winning skipper.

Currently, the Australian team led by Tim Paine is in a great form, as they have won 5 consecutive games this summer. They thrashed Pakistan team led by Azhar Ali before clean-sweeping New Zealand in a three-match series.
