The banter between the former cricketers isn't ending as Australia's former player Ryan Harris has jumped to the occasion to criticize Sunil Gavaskar for attacking Josh Hazlewood and manipulating his statement. Gavaskar concluded that the Australian team was divided after a defeat in the first Test match, as Hazlewood blamed the batters for the loss. Coming to their rescue, Harris bashed the former Indian player, saying that 'players don't play politics.'
"There are no groups and such statements are garbage. I heard what Sunil Gavaskar said. It is all rubbish. I know it happens in India but not in Australia. Players don’t play politics and you can’t leave out a player for his statement. All the players are aware of how our media works. It was blown out of proportion because we lost badly against India. But it happens in sports," he told The Indian Express.
Australia will be fully prepared to take their revenge against India in the 2nd Test match, which will happen at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. The Pink Ball Test match isn't India's strong point, and the Australians will take full advantage of the situation. While the Indian bowling lineup seems sorted, the batters will have to step up.
India has several superstars: Nathan Lyon
Nathan Lyon, Australia's spin wizard, has praised the Indian players after their win in the first Test match. Moreover, they won the game by 295 runs. He also heaped praises on Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah for their master-class knocks and spells in the previous game. The same will be expected of them in the upcoming game.
Lyon, during the press conference, praised the Indian side and said, "India has several superstars. Obviously, Virat and Bumrah are top performers, but there are other players as well. India is strong team and hard to compete against. We are not focusing on just one player. It doesn’t mean we will not compete against them. We respect them but will make sure to play our brand of cricket and play competitive cricket against this Indian team.”
