EbeneInfo – AU – I see them wrestling: Shoaib Akhtar explains why India might find it difficult against Australia

Former Pakistani Shoaib Akhtar has given his thoughts on the upcoming series between Australia and India Akhtar thinks that if India can win again, it might struggle against the Australians For a reason

Former Pakistani fast pitcher Shoaib Akhtar weighed in on his opinions on the upcoming and highly anticipated series between Australia and India

Speaking to PTI, Akhtar said that while India surely has the firepower to win again, but will struggle if its middle order is not among the races

« In my opinion India has the capacity to win again But if their middle order doesn’t work I see them wrestling People will watch this series with great interest including myself », a declared Akhtar

India had beaten Australia 2-1 on their last tour in 2018-19, but it should be noted that their star players, Steve Smith and David Warner, were not playing this series – serving a ban on one year for the famous ball tampering incident

In what can be a huge advantage for Australians, Indian skipper Virat Kohli will return home after the first Test in Adelaide for the birth of his first child with actress Anushka Sharma

So in Kohli’s absence, the Indian Intermediate Order will be a shadow of itself from the last time. Additional responsibility will fall on Cheteshwar Pujara, who was India’s top scorer last time with 571 points

Speaking of adjusting to locations in Australia, which are very different from what we see on the subcontinent, Akhtar noted that it takes some time to deal with forward trigger movements – batsmen from regions of the subcontinent being inclined to play on the front foot as the ball stays low

“It takes two to three innings to control this forward trigger movement in foreign conditions You can’t drive on the climb and have to play close to the body,” said Akhtar, considered one of the fastest bowlers ever

India is set to play three ODIs, three T20Is and four Tests below and are reportedly looking to repeat their exploits from their last tour The tour begins with the ODI series, starting November 27
