Instead of just being a two or three season thing, it’s suddenly become a half-decade thing. Cummins further said – This has been the situation for the last two or three years. The coming week is very normal. It’s all very comfortable, everyone knows how to prepare them. One of the strengths of our team is not only consistency, but how well everyone gets along and how much we love playing together.

He has batted amazingly in all the tours of Australia. But young players are always coming to Team India and they know that it is very difficult to make their place in Team India. Whoever is selected in the playing XI are all tremendous players. So it does not mean that who has been selected are all the best players. Our focus is on all the players: Josh Hazlewood Josh Hazlewood further said, ‘Our focus will not just be on Virat Kohli but on all the players of the team. Virat Kohli has always performed very well and has achieved a lot of success in the past and his wicket will be very important.
