Delhi: Now only two weeks are left for the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Australian team is fully preparing for this test series of five matches. For this reason, the Kangaroos have withdrawn many key players including their captain Pat Cummins from the third ODI against Pakistan, so that they can concentrate on preparations for the match against India.
‘Rishabh Pant will become the most expensive player in IPL history, will get more than Rs 25 crore’
In such a situation, Cummins has realized that even though Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are big players, the biggest threat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) is from Rishabh Pant. Although Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill also played important roles in the previous series, the credit for the historic victory at Gabba goes to Pant.
Cummins is alert about the threat from Pant. Returning after the car accident, Pant has scored three half-centuries and one century in five matches. Talking about preparing special plans for the left-handed batsman, Cummins told HT that Pant is such a player who takes the game forward quickly, so some good plans have to be made against him.
Cummins also said that Pant had performed brilliantly last time in Australia and they know that he is a dangerous player, that is why the team will make some special strategies for Pant and hopefully they will be successful.
Pant’s performance in the test against Australia
It is noteworthy that Pant has so far scored 624 runs in 12 innings of 7 Test matches against Australia at an average of 62.40 and strike rate of 72.13, which includes two half-centuries and one century.
