Usman Khawaja’s statement started heated arguments between Australia and India

Usman Khawaja’s recent comments have heated up the atmosphere for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) series. He said that the Indian cricket team gets a special satisfaction from defeating Australia in any format.

Usman Khawaja said, “We have actually been the number one and number two teams in the world for the last two years. We (Australia and India) were also together in the last World Test Championship. Our rivalry has always been great. I take it as a sign of respect, and I know Indians get a lot of joy from beating Australia in any format.”

He further added, “Australia has had a tradition of being a dominant team in world cricket for many years, and that reputation is now under threat. I think it has always been a special achievement for Indians to beat Australia. And in recent times, especially since the rise of the IPL and Indian cricket, this rivalry against Australia has become even more important. Especially since India have beaten Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy the last two times it has been played in Australia, it has become even more meaningful.”
