IND vs AUS: The Australian team has to play a 4-match Border-Gavaskar test series against India from February 9, starting in Nagpur. The Kangaroo team is fully aware that Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will be the biggest threat to them in this test series. Facing these two pitchers on Indian fields has not been an easy task for any player.
In the year 2017, when the Australian team last played a Test series in India, Ravindra Jadeja took the maximum 25 wickets in 4 matches. In this regard, former Australian veteran Shane Watson has given important advice to the Kangaroo team’s right-handers to tackle Jadeja’s bowling.
According to Shane Watson, Ravindra Jadeja is more about attacking the wicket during his bowling, in which case it is a bit difficult for right-handed batsmen to face his balls. The Australian team currently has two great right-handers in Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. Smith had scored 499 runs in the last Test series played on the tour of India.
Watson told how to face Jadeja
Watson said in his statement to ESPN Cricinfo that it becomes easier if the ball doesn’t spin a lot while facing Jadeja. Because he bowls the ball with pace but if the bowling helps him, he looks like a completely different bowler.
Watson further said in his statement that when Jadeja’s ball spins and comes with speed, it becomes very difficult for right-handed hitters to play. In such a situation, being a batsman against his balls, he should try to score runs instead of avoiding them from the start.
Jadeja has taken 63 wickets against Australia
Ravindra Jadeja returns to the cricket field after a long time. After knee surgery, he also played Ranji’s match to prove his fitness, in which he took 7 wickets in one innings. Jadeja has so far played 12 Test matches against Australia in which he has taken 63 wickets.
