Mind games begin before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia

Former Australian players have started playing mind games with Team India before the Border-Gavaskar Test series. In fact, Now only one week is left for the Border-Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia to begin. The media and former Australian players play mind games with Team India whenever they play in Australia. Aaron Finch, a former Australian captain and batsman has tried to scare the Indian batsmen with Kangaroo fast bowlers. The first match between the two teams will be played in Perth on November 22.

Aaron Finch said that I don't think the Indian batsmen will be able to stand up against the Australian fast bowlers. They will have a lot of trouble with the pace and bounce in Perth. There is also a lot of talk about young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. I know Yashasvi is a good player but he has not come to Australia before. So I don't think he will be able to face the bounce of Perth. Opening the innings in Perth is not an easy task.

Finch said that both wicketkeeper batsmen will play an important role in this Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He said that Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and Australia's Alex Carey will have a lot of responsibility. Both teams' fast bowling attack is very good, and the top-order batsmen will have difficulty. Alex Carey at number seven and Rishabh Pant at number six will prove very important in such a situation.

A practice match amongst themselves is what the Indian cricket team, on tour for the Test series, will be playing. In other words, it will be an intra-squad match so the players get to practice the match. Earlier, it was proposed that a practice match between the Indian team and the India-A team shall be held but was soon cancelled. After which it was decided a match must be played amongst themselves.

Star batsman Virat Kohli joined the practice session for the very first time and batted fiercely in the nets. A video is getting viral on social media, in which Virat is practicing batting against short-of-length and fast bowlers. Meanwhile Lokesh Rahul, who couldn't play any good inning for India-A also participated in the practice session.
