Australians are well known for playing mind games before the start of every important series. However, some experts reckon that this won’t work this time as the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team are better than the visitors in physical as well as mental aspects.
Former India leg-spinner Sairaj Bahutule, 50, who is part of the Indian team’s support staff in Nagpur, reckoned the hosts have ticked all boxes. “Australia have always been a good side who tend to prepare well. But over a period of time, the Indian players’ mindset has got better and better. Obviously, we have been winning overseas Test matches and series.
