BGT will start with the first match to be held in Perth on 22 November
Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) to be held at the end of the year. It is noteworthy that BGT will start with the first match to be held in Perth on 22nd November.
On the other hand, before the start of this much awaited series, a period of rhetoric has started in the cricket circles. So, just some time ago, former legend Ricky Ponting has given a big statement regarding captain Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli who are out of Test cricket these days.
But before the start of BGT today, on 11th November, a press conference was held at BCCI Head Quarters in Mumbai, in which Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir has said that instead of worrying about the Indian team, they should focus on the Australian team.
But now a big reaction from former Australian middle order batsman Michael Hussey has come to light on Gambhir’s statement. Hussey says that the first match to be held in Perth will reveal who is in the water.
Michael Hussey gave a big reaction
Let us tell you that after Gautam Gambhir’s press conference regarding the BGT series, Michael Hussey said in a discussion with Fox Cricket – We will find out in the first Test match where they (Team India) are from the mental and skill point of view. This will hurt them, India have a lot of crowd pullers who have quality.
Hussey further said- We just heard Gambhir talking about Rohit and Kohli not scoring runs. The stupidest thing you can do is dismiss champion players. We have seen it many times in the past, they get criticized, but they come out and perform really well.
