Especially winning at home. “Most Australians, including myself, expect us to perform well whenever we play at home.” He further said, “We have lost the (last) two series against India (in Australia), so this is a big thing. We feel like our team is in really good shape, so we have no reason not to perform really well. I always hope that we perform well against whoever we play, but there is pressure to perform well against India. “That makes it a big year and a big season.” Pat Cummins believes that there will be pressure on the Australian team. “I think whenever a team is under pressure, it is not a bad thing if you are playing against them, but they have played here before and done well. Our job is to keep them calm, see what we do.”

I pray that there should be some balance between bat and ball: Pat Cummins Pat Cummins further said, ‘I pray that there should be some balance between the ball and the bat.
