The ODI series is going to begin from November 27 between India and Australia. But all eyes are on the four-match Test series starting on 17 December. Spin bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin can prove to be important links for India on Australian tour. However, only one of these two will get a chance in the first test.
When India last visited Australia in 2018-19, Kuldeep took five wickets in the first innings of Sydney Test in January. Apart from him, Ashwin took six wickets in both innings in Adelaide. But this time, Ashwin will have to compete with Kuldeep to make a place in the team.
Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who toured Australia twice in 2003-04 and 2007-08, has explained why bowling in Australia is difficult. Harbhajan said, “It is difficult to bowl in Australia because as long as you keep pace with the wickets there, the tour will be over. You will tour every four-five years. Their spinners will get more success because they are better Ways of knowing the circumstances and that is their home. “
Harbhajan advised the spinners, “The spinners will need to adjust their length as soon as possible. Also they should not depend on the side spin because you won’t be able to do that. If that happens then it will benefit “But you don’t have to depend too much on it. To get the bounce, Indian spinners need to bowl a little slow.”
