Former Australia wicketkeeper-batter Brad Haddin thinks that India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal won't be able to stand pace bowling at Perth during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The statement comes as both teams gear up for the series, which starts in less than two weeks.
"I don't think that the Indian batters are going to stand up to our quicks. I know Jaiswal is a really good player, but he hasn't come out and seen Australia before, so I'm not sure whether he is going to handle the bounce. Opening in Perth is hard work," Haddin said on while talking on LiSTNR Sport podcast.
Haddin's former teammate and ex-Aussie skipper Aaron Finch, meanwhile, pointed that wicketkeepers from both sides, that is, Rishabh Pant (India) and Alex Carey (Australia) would be pivotal in defining the results of the series.
"I think the key could be Alex Carey and Rishabh Pant, the two wicketkeepers are going to be so important. At one time or the other in the series, the top order will get knocked over. Both fast-bowling attacks are so good that they will get on a roll and knock over the top order. So for me it's that really crucial role of Alex at No. 7 and Rishabh at 6 likely. Carey is aggressive, Rishabh is aggressive. The game is going to go one or two ways really quick. And I think that will be so important," said Finch.
India have not lost a Test series against Australia since 2014. Since then, they have won all four series played between two sides, two at home and two away.
