Team Analysis
The biggest strength of the Indian team is their lethal bowling attack led by none other than their star pacer, Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah, the skipper for the Indian team in the 1st test is in his career’s best form and can prove to be a valuable asset for the Asian team in challenging situations. Not only does the star player limit the runs conceded, but also brings diversity in his length and line resulting in quick dismissals of the opposing squad. Bumrah is joined by other legendary Indian bowlers namely Muhammad Siraj, and Notish Kumar Reddy in the bowling unit and together the three of them can prove to be a nightmare for the Aussie team.
Rohit Sharma, the talented Indian captain will be joining his team in this second, having missed the first match due to his family commitments. Rohit adds strength and stability to the guest team’s batting line-up and he plays a crucial anchoring role in setting together a difficult target on the scoreboard. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are also in their prime forms and together with the young talent namely Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, the Indian team can set together a big target, provided that they win the toss and choose to bat first.
Unfortunately for the Aussie squad, bad news follows in the form of the ruling out of their talented pacer, Josh Hazelwood. Hazelwood has been ruled out of the second test owing to a thumb injury. However, Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc are experienced Australian bowlers who can save their team from undesirable outcomes in tough situations. Another deficiency in the Aussie squad is the poor forms of the experienced batsmen namely Steve Smith, Travis Head, and Usman Khawaja. Hopefully, Pat Cummins and his men have a new strategy in mind if they want to surprise attack their incredibly competitive Indian team.
