IND vs AUS: If Rohit Sena does these 3 things then Australia will have all the work done!

Ahmedabad: Australian opener Usman Khawaja could not find a place in the playing XI on previous Indian tours because of the perception that he could not play spinners well. Khawaja changed that perception with his century in the fourth and final Test match of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series. Thanks to his unbeaten century and three half-century partnerships, Australia kept their upper hand by scoring 255 runs for four wickets in the first innings on Thursday, the first day of the match.

Khawaja returned unbeaten on the first day after scoring 104*. He made 61 for the first wicket with Travis Head (32), 79 for the third wicket with captain Steve Smith (38 runs, 135 balls) and Cameron Green (49 *, 64 balls, eight fours) for the fifth wicket. Unbroken partnership of 85* runs.

First one hour is very important, wickets will have to be shaken
The first session of the second day is very important for the Indian team. He has to take at least 3 wickets in the first one hour. If this happens then only work can be done. Rohit Sharma’s team would like Australia to be all out within 3.15 hundred. For this, the role of Shami and Umesh will be special.

Spinners will have to create pressure
There is no doubt that early timing will be crucial for the fast bowlers, but for Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel, this ground is like home. They grew up playing here. In such a situation, both will have to create pressure together with Ashwin, so that they get wickets. Especially at the end with Cameron Green, because he is an explosive batsman. If he gets into defensive mode, then the chances of falling wickets will increase. On the other hand, Usman being a Test specialist, getting him out can be a huge success.

Now the real test of captaincy
The real test of Rohit Sharma’s captaincy will be today itself. If Team India dismisses Australia early, then only work can be done, because the Indian top order has failed in the series so far and if the same situation happens here after making a big score, then it will be very difficult to stop Australia from winning.

rising career graph
Usman Khawaja’s career graph has gone up rapidly since the beginning of the year 2022. During this, this is his sixth Test century. Johnny Bairstow and Joe Root of England have also scored so many Test centuries during this period. Khawaja has scored four centuries as an opener during this period and no other opener is even close to him. Usman (1532* runs in 16 Tests) is second only to Joe Root (22 Tests, 1915 runs) in the list of batsmen in the current cycle of the World Test Championship.

first time in the series
Australia did not lose a single wicket in the second session, which was the first session in the entire series in which no wicket fell. The Indian bowlers found it difficult to dismiss the Australian batsmen on a slow and flat pitch. The visiting team’s batsmen did not have much trouble playing the trio of Ravichandran Ashwin (1/57), Ravindra Jadeja (1/49) and Akshar Patel (14 runs without a wicket). The most successful bowler for India was Mohammed Shami, who took two wickets for 65 runs.

work hard to score runs
Australia scored at a run rate of 2.83 during the day’s play. The team was able to score runs at a run rate of 2.40 in the first two sessions, which shows that the pitch is not easy to score runs on. The visiting team’s batsmen, however, scored easily on both occasions against the new ball. Ashwin and Shami picked up a wicket each in the morning session as Australia reached 75 for two at lunch.

Green increased the pace
At the beginning of the third session, like Labushen, Smith also played Jadeja’s ball on the wickets. Smith hit three fours in his 135-ball innings. Shami then bowled Peter Handscomb (17) to score Australia 170 for four. But after this, Green, who came on the field, once again sent the Indian bowlers on the backfoot with the attacking game. He was well supported by Khawaja, who brought up his century in 246 balls with a four off Shami in the final over of the day. He became only the second batsman after Indian skipper Rohit Sharma to score a century in the current series.
