AUS vs IND: Australian captain is scared of this Indian player

AUS vs IND: Rishabh Pant has played only 7 Test matches against Australia so far, and all of them have been played in Australia, where his average is 62.40. That’s why Australian captain Pat Cummins is fearful of Pant’s performance.

AUS vs IND: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is just two weeks away. The Australian team is working hard for this five-match Test series. That’s why Australia has removed its captain Pat Cummins and other key players from the third ODI against Pakistan and has started preparing for the series against India. Meanwhile, Australian captain Pat Cummins also realises that Rishabh Pant is the most important player to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). Although Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill have made significant contributions, it was Pant who breached the Gabba fort three years ago.

Cummins, Starc, and Lyon are wary of Pant’s excellent record

Australian fans still remember Pant’s performance in the last BGT. In Test cricket, Cummins has never got Pant out, and Pant has performed exceptionally well against Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon. His average against them is 60 and 45.8, respectively, and among the four Australian bowlers, only Josh Hazlewood (average 32) has troubled him. Even in the last series, it was not the Australian team that got Pant out, but he got himself out.

Cummins is aware of Pant’s threat

After returning from a car accident, Pant has already scored three half-centuries and a century in five matches. Cummins is very cautious of this aggressive batsman and is making good plans to counter him in the Perth Test on November 22. Cummins told HT that Pant is a player who always takes the game forward quickly, so you need to have good plans against him.

When he gets going, he becomes dangerous…

Cummins further said that Rishabh Pant has played well, and he had a good series in Australia last time. Yes, we know that when he gets going, he can become very dangerous. So, we will try to make good plans and hope they are successful.

Rishabh Pant’s record against Australia

It is worth noting that Rishabh Pant has scored 624 runs in 12 innings of 7 Test matches against Australia at an average of 62.40 and a strike rate of 72.13. During this period, he scored two half-centuries and a century.
