New Delhi. Only a few days are left for the Gavaskar-Border Trophy to begin. The biggest challenge between the two countries at this time is only spin bowling. India’s condition suits spin bowling a lot. In such a situation, the Australian team practicing in Bengaluru has also added a duplicate Ravichandran Ashwin in its camp. This bowler of India bowls exactly on the lines of Ashwin. Everyone is worried about the spin in this big series that India’s vice-captain KL Rahul (KL Rahul) is worried about something else in the test format.
On February 9, the first Test match of the series is to be played between India and Australia in Nagpur. Shreyas Iyer is not available for this match due to injury. In such a situation, there is talk of giving a chance to Suryakumar Yadav in the middle order. In the absence of Rishabh Pant, this fast explosive batsman can prove to be an X factor for India. Suryakumar Yadav plays spin bowling very well.
KL Rahul has a different concern
KL Rahul said during a media interaction before the match, “Reverse swing plays a big role in India. Any fast bowler who can take advantage of the conditions will prove to be dangerous. We are aware of this danger. We know how deadly Australia’s fast bowlers can prove to be here. Rahul said that we are preparing ourselves well against reverse swing.
Opening batsman struggling with bad form
Indian opener KL Rahul is currently struggling with bad form in his career. Due to not being able to perform with the bat, he has been discharged from T20. He completely missed out on scoring runs in Bangladesh. In such a situation, KL Rahul’s fear about swing is justified. KL plays spin bowling well. Australia’s strength is reverse swing. In such a situation, Rahul knows that a slight mistake against the pace battery can destroy his career.
