India and Australia have produce🔴d some of the greatest cricketing spectacles, and the clasওhes between the two sides have been high-octane in recent years.
Last time when the Indian team toured Australia in the 2018-19 season, they won the ODI and Test match series but tied the T20I series. However, it was their Test win in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy which hogged all the limelig🧸ht.
The Indian team became the first Asian side to beat the Ba🌌ggy Greens at their own turf and w🍒on the four-match series by a handsome margin of 2-1.
During the series, the depleted Australian batting lineup had no answers to the three-pronged Indian pace🧸 attack, featuring Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Shami.
Now, former England captain Michael ꦬAtherton has revealed the key to success for the Indian side, when they defend the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, later in December th♔is year.
“What really should give India fans hope I think Down Under is the strength of the bowling attack. It’s very, 🤡very difficult to win in Australia without a strong seam bowling attack,” Atherton said during a chat show.
Further, At💧herton pointed out towards the abundant reservoir of pace battery which the current Indian team boastsꦉ.
“One of the great things in the last few years from my perspective, I’ve seen🙈 this sea change really, in terms of the quality of the fast bowlers that you’ve produced. If I go back and think to wh🎃en I played in India in 93, it was completely spin-based, you obviously had good fast bowlers as well, but I don’t think that number in-depth that you have now,” the cricketer-turned-commentator added.
Two Australians who would be itching to have a go at the Indian team would be premier batters Steve Smith and ⛄David Warner, who missed the action last time around, serving their ban period.
When Team India tours Australia later this year, th🍌e biggest thorn in t𓆉heir campaign would be taking the prized wicket of number one ranked Test batsman Smith.
“I’ll be very interested to see what India come up with (against Smith). He (Smith) is a high♎ly unorthodox player, but I enjoy watching and for that reason. I think the game is a better game when you’ve got people who are very unusual in the way that they play,” Atherton concluded.
