Melbourne, December 14, 2024: In the lead-up to India’s third Test against Australia, former batting coach and cricket experts have shared their insights on the team’s changes and preparations. Matthew Hayden, the former Australian batsman, stressed the need for India to improve their batting performance after a series of low scores in the previous Tests. He highlighted the importance of resilience in the third Test, especially in building partnerships and handling challenging pitches. Hayden’s remarks followed India’s quick defeat in the Adelaide Test, where they were dismissed for low totals in both innings.
Harbhajan Singh, former Indian cricketer, also chimed in, emphasizing the necessity of forming solid partnerships in the batting lineup. He suggested that if India could post scores between 300 and 350 runs, their bowlers, who are capable of taking wickets, would have a significant impact. Both experts agreed that addressing India’s batting concerns is crucial for the team’s chances of regaining control of the series.
As the third Test approaches, India’s batting performance remains a focal point, and resolving these issues will be critical to their success against the strong Australian side.
