Gautam Gambhir described Australia’s current batting line-up as the “weakest” he has ever seen. Speaking to ANI, he said:
The cricketer-turned-politician pointed out that Australia have put up poor batting displays even though a number of India’s key bowlers are missing from action due to injuries. Gambhir added:
Australia are under pressure: Gautam Gambhir
Although Australia won the first Test in Adelaide by eight wickets, their batting had faltered in that match as well. In fact, Australia’s highest total across the two Tests has been 200.
Significantly, not a single Aussie has scored a Test hundred against India since Steve Smith at Dharamsala in March 2017.
Keeping these batting woes in mind, Gautam Gambhir senses a golden chance for India to beat Australia in Australia once again. He reiterated:
With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy tied at 1-1, India and Australia will be fighting to take the crucial 2-1 lead heading into the final match in Brisbane, where the Aussies have not lost a Test since 1988.
Australia are likely to be bolstered by the return of experienced opener David Warner for the third Test in Sydney. India, on the other hand, have included Rohit Sharma in place of the out-of-form Mayank Agarwal in their playing XI.
