India vs Australia Border Gavakas Trophy 2024: The Indian team might not have thought that the race for the World Test Championship final would become so exciting. It was just a few weeks ago when Team India looked to be a strong contender to reach the finals. But the 0-3 defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the home series and now the defeat in the Adelaide Test has dealt a big blow to India’s hopes of reaching the finals. All the equations have changed and meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has told three such aspects on which the Indian team needs to pay attention.
focus on partnership
The first thing Harbhajan Singh said was that the Indian team needs to pay special attention to batting. He said, “The batsmen should first focus on making a partnership of 30-40 runs, which gives time to the batsmen, this is exactly what we did in Perth. India should set a target of 300-350 runs in the first innings. “
Better planning in bowling
India’s veteran spinner told the other aspect that there should be better planning in bowling. According to him, Travis Head has a headache. Harbhajan said, “We have seen that Head likes to score runs in the point and cover areas, so we should stop him from playing straight with the bat. Keep the ball slightly higher and try to feed him on the leg-side. My There is a request that the bowlers should also bowl bouncers because they are not able to play well against head bouncers.”
oust Harshit Rana
Harshit Rana proved to be very expensive in the Adelaide Test and could not even take any wicket. Now Harbhajan Singh has said that he will be dropped from the playing eleven. He said, “I want Prasidh Krishna or Akashdeep to be given a chance in place of Harshit Rana. I am not saying that Harshit has performed poorly, but the Brisbane pitch has more bounce and fast bowlers can take a lot of wickets there. I believe that Prasidh Krishna has that bounce and he can prove to be lethal in Brisbane.”
