The much awaited BGT series is starting from 22nd November Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England cricket team captain Michael Vaughan has recently given a big statement before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series. Vaughan says that only if Team India adopts an aggressive approach from the beginning and is successful in pushing Australia on the backfoot, then only it can save this series. Vaughan also said that when India won the Test series in Australia for the first time in the year 2018-19, there was the mentor of ‘charismatic coach’ Ravi Shastri and an excellent leader in the form of Virat Kohli. But this time who is going to be Shastri and Kohli of Team India on the tour? This has to be seen. Michael Vaughn gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Fox Cricket before the start of BGT, Vaughan said – In the last four or five years, without any doubt, these two teams have been the best two teams with their skill set and mentality. Are. The last two times they have been here, they have won. They had a charismatic coach in Ravi Shastri and a captain in Virat Kohli. Vaughan further said- I am a big believer that when you play against Australia, there is only one way to play against them and that is to be on the front foot, be aggressive and score some tries. Ravi could do this, Virat could do this. I want to know who is Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli in the Indian team this time? I don’t think there can be another one like it. Can Rohit come back and do this kind of captaincy? I think this is going to be a big challenge for India in the coming few weeks?
