New Zealand recently won the Test series against India 3-0, after 24 years any team has whitewashed India in a Test series at home. Team India has to play a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November 22. Team India’s form before this series remains a matter of concern.

India’s place in the final of the World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​seemed certain, but after the defeat against New Zealand, the team’s troubles have increased. To reach the final, India will have to win four out of five matches against Australia.

Meanwhile, Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood says that India will be inspired to play better cricket after the loss to New Zealand. However, Hazlewood is also happy that Team India’s confidence has taken a blow after the defeat against Blackcaps.

Josh Hazlewood said this about Team India

Josh Hazlewood, speaking on the Sydney Morning Herald, said,

It could wake up a sleeping giant, so to speak. We will see this when they take the field. For them, losing 3-0 is better than winning 3-0, easily. There may have been a slight blow to confidence. A lot of them have been out here, but there are also some batsmen who haven’t been out here, so they will be a little unsure of what to expect. I don’t think you can read too much into it. The results are obviously kind of good for us.

There’s too much bounce here – Scott Boland

Scott Boland talked about India’s success in Australia in the last few series, but he believes the conditions will be different this time as they expect more bounce.

“I think the circumstances are very different,” Boland said. Obviously, the last few times India have come to Australia, they have performed really well. Yes, there is a lot of bounce here. I think the way they will set up their team will be completely different from what we see in India.”

Let us tell you, India has won the last two Test series in Australia by 2-1. On the other hand, Australia is now keen to defeat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014-15.
