IndvsAus: Opener Usman Khawaja, who came before the Test series, told the reason for fear about the turning wicket

Bangalore. Australia opener Usman Khawaja, who has been very successful in the last few years, says that the Indian spin attack led by Ravichandran Ashwin will be the toughest challenge they will face in the four-Test series against India starting February 9 in Nagpur. Pakistan-born Khawaja arrived here after the team due to delay in getting visa. He will open the innings with David Warner. Khawaja has played limited overs cricket in India but now he will get a chance to play Test. He was a part of the 2013 and 2017 Test squads.

A lot will depend on Khawaja, who was recently named Australia’s Test Cricketer of the Year, for Australia’s performance. Australia in 2004. Haven’t won a Test series in India since 05. He said that there is a different feeling. There are no guarantees in this game but there has been more maturity in batting and bowling. He said that we have learned a lot in the last ten years. Especially what kind of wickets would you get and I think now we can win Tests here. We are in a better position now but the series will be very tough.

Australia decided not to play a warm-up match before the Test series. Instead, it was better to practice on spinner-friendly pitches near Bangalore. They see Ashwin as the biggest threat and are taking the help of ‘duplicates’ to prepare to face him. Khwaja said that Ashwin is a cannon. He is very skilful and has got variety which he uses very well. It will be challenging to face him. The wicket will turn on the third-fourth day and he will bowl most of the overs. I have to see how I can score runs in front of him. He said that if the wicket is good then it will be easiest to play the new ball but if the spinners are handling the new ball when the wicket breaks then it becomes most difficult to bat in India.
