The fate of Team India will be in the hands of the young batsman in Australia! Kohli-Rohit will also have to show their colors

Yuvraj Singh IND vs AUS: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is going to start from November 22. Team India has reached Kangaroo soil with the intention of hoisting the flag of victory for the third consecutive time. However, the recent form of the Indian team is poor. Rohit and company had to face 3-0 defeat at the hands of New Zealand in their own home. Meanwhile, former Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh has named the player whose performance can decide the fate of Team India in Australia.

Who needs to travel to Australia?

While talking to Mid-Day, Yuvraj Singh said, “Our batting is very strong. Pant and Shubman had performed strongly last time. If we have to win in Australia, it is important that Rohit and Kohli provide strength to the middle order. Both these great batsmen will have to score runs. Pant will play the most important role at number five. He will have to play in his own way and bat aggressively. Pant's shots may not look good at times, but he will have to continue his attacking batting.”

Gurumantra to be successful in Australia

Yuvraj Singh also gave Gurumantra to Team India to be successful on Australian soil. He said, “In day game you have to spend time session after session. If you spend time on Australian wickets, it will prove beneficial for you. Last time Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill played attacking cricket. However, Cheteshwar Pujara stood at the wicket and kept his body on the line. Pujara is not known for strokeplay, but he is a batsman who gives his all. Batsmen who bat well against the short ball can score a lot of runs in Australia.”

Pant has a strong record

Rishabh Pant's record on Australian soil has been strong. Pant has played a total of 7 test matches so far on Kangaroo soil. During this period, he scored 624 runs in 12 innings at an unmatched average of 62.40. Pant has scored one century and 2 half-centuries against Australia. On the last tour, Pant played an important role in giving Team India a historic victory at Gabba by playing a brilliant innings.
