IND vs AUS / India got support from the 'enemy', this Australian is busy exposing his own team

IND vs AUS: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia was started in a great way by the Indian bowlers. In the first Test match played in Perth, the Indian bowlers stopped the Australian batsmen at every opportunity to score runs. The result was that Team India registered a spectacular victory of 295 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

However, in the second Test, the Indian bowlers could not maintain their rhythm. India suffered a crushing defeat by 10 wickets in Adelaide, due to which Australia made a strong comeback in the series. Now the series is tied at 1-1 and both the teams will try to gain lead through the third Test match.

The challenge of the third Test at Gabba

The performance of the fast bowlers can prove to be decisive in the third Test match to be held at Gabba in Brisbane. The pitch of Gabba is famous for its bounce and pace, which can be helpful for fast bowlers. In this context, the Indian bowlers have received important suggestions from former Australian legend Matthew Hayden.

Matthew Hayden's suggestion

Hayden has advised the Indian bowlers to take full advantage of the Gabba pitch and target the fourth-fifth stump line. He told Star Sports, "It is very important to use bounce and correct line-length on the Gabba pitch. Indian bowlers should rely on the line of the fourth and fifth stumps."

Hayden also said that India will have to bat better in Gabba. He suggested, "India should not bat for less than a day while batting first. A score of 350 runs should be the target, so that the team can strengthen its position in the match."

Time for strategy for India

Hayden's advice can prove useful for the Indian team. Players like fast bowlers Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will have to take advantage of the conditions at Gabba. Also, the batting order will have to play responsibly and put pressure on the opposition bowlers.

Now it remains to be seen what strategy the Indian team adopts in the third Test and whether it manages to leave its mark on the Gaba ground. At this stage of the series, victory is of great importance for both teams.
