Australian Team Mind Games: The Australian team has always been tough. Playing against this team has been a huge challenge. This is not only because this team shows a strong game on the field but also because the Australian team is a master at mind games.
The Indian team is currently on a tour of Australia, and the former players of the Australian team have started playing mind games.
On the Australia tour, everyone’s eyes will be on Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant. But Team India’s opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal will also be in focus. This batsman has impressed a lot with his batting in India.
Now it remains to be seen how he plays on foreign soil. But former Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Brad Haddin has completely rejected Yashasvi’s talent.
Brad Haddin Doubts Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Success on Australian Pitches
Brad Haddin has said that Yashasvi is a brilliant batsman but he will not be able to perform on the fast and bouncy pitches in Australia. Haddin said on the LiSTNR Sport podcast, “I don’t think the Indian batsmen will be able to stand up to Australia’s fast bowling.
I know Yashasvi is a great batsman. But he hasn’t come to Australia and hasn’t played here. So I don’t think he will be able to handle the bounce here.
Wicketkeepers Expected to Play Key Role
At the same time, former Australian captain Aaron Finch has said that the role of both wicketkeepers is going to be important in this series. Finch said that Rishabh Pant and Alex Carey will play a big role in this series. On the same podcast, Finch said, “I think both wicketkeepers, Alex Carey and Rishabh Pant, are going to be very important.
The top order will be scattered one or more times in this series. The fast bowling attack of both teams is excellent and hence the top order will face problems. So for me, the role of Carey at number-7 and Pant at number-6 is going to be very important.”
