Lest Team India’s bet may backfire, is India taking Kangaroos lightly?

Nagpur: The India and Australia teams are all set for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Both the teams will clash with each other from February 9 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. Even before the match, there is a lot of discussion about the spinners of India and Australia. Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Akshar Patel have been included in the Indian team as spinners. These four bowlers can become a call for batsmen against any team on Indian pitches. In such a situation, the biggest difficulty for the Australian team will be to deal with them.

At the same time, the Australia cricket team includes Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy and Mitchell Swepson in their squad. The biggest difficulty for Australia is that apart from Nathan Lyon, the other two spinners do not have the experience of playing against India. However, it should not be forgotten that on the basis of which the Indian team is planning to trample Australia, this bet may not be overshadowed by them. In such a situation, let us know how India’s record has been in Nagpur and which team’s spin attack is so sharp.

Ashwin and Jadeja will rock

The Indian team has included four spin bowlers for the four-Test series. In such a situation, the team management may have to struggle a lot to include which of them in the playing XI. However, whatever the playing XI is, but before that it is important to know which players have been effective against Australia.

First of all in this list, let’s talk about Ravichandran Ashwin who has made Australian batsmen dance a lot with his spin on Indian pitches. In India, Ashwin has played a total of 8 Test matches against the Kangaroo team, in which he has taken 50 wickets. During this, his economy rate has been 2.48. On the other hand, if we look at Ashwin’s bowling against Australia, he has done the feat of taking 89 wickets in just 18 matches.

Not only Ashwin against Australia, Ravindra Jadeja’s spin has also worked well. Jadeja has also taken 49 wickets in India by playing 8 matches against Australia. While looking at his overall wickets against this team, he has 63 wickets in his name.

Apart from this, Kuldeep Yadav got a chance to play in only two Tests against Australia, in which he took 9 wickets. At the same time, Patel does not have the experience of playing against this team.

Nathan Lyon will be a strong weapon for Australia

On the other hand, the Australian team has the only experienced spinner in the form of Nathan Lyon. His record against India has also been excellent. Lion has played a total of 22 Test matches against India so far in which he has taken 94 wickets. During this, his economy rate has been 3.14.

On the other hand, if we look at his bowling figures in India, he played seven Test matches on the pitches here, in which he got 28 wickets. On the other hand, Todd Murphy and Mitchell Swepson have no experience of playing against India. In such a situation, if we look at the competition between the spin bowlers, then the Indian team has a heavy upper hand here.

How has Nagpur ground been for India

The Indian cricket team will play a Test match against Australia after 15 years in Nagpur. The last time both the teams played a Test match at this ground was in 2008, in which the Indian team won by 172 runs. Team India has played a total of 6 Test matches on this ground, in which it has faced defeat only once.
