IND vs AUS: Australia left practice game for preparation, called RCB’s special person, what will happen?
New Delhi. The Australian team, led by Pat Cummins, is ready to play a big series. The 4-match Test series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) is starting from 9 February. The first match is to be held in Nagpur. The pitch here is considered favorable for spinners. In such a situation, the Kangaroo team has left even the practice game for preparation. He has set up a 4-day camp at Ellur near Bangalore. Here preparations are on to find the break of team spin. It is only a short distance from the ground of the IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore. Not only this, RCB coach Daniel Vettori is also with the team. He is associated with the Australian team as a spin consultant.
After 2012, no foreign team has won the Test series in India. Australia’s team will practice on different pitches in Ellur. This includes pitches with slow turners, high spin, variable bounce. This will give the team a good chance to prepare before the Test matches to be held in Nagpur, Delhi and Ahmedabad. Another test match is to be held in Dharamshal. The pitch here is considered favorable for fast bowlers. This will not cause much trouble to Australia.
India has an army of spin
The victory of Team India will depend on the spinners. India has good spinners like R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. Earlier in 2013, Australia played 2 practice matches in Chennai. Even after this, he got a big defeat by 0-4. For this reason, the Kangaroo team decided to set up a camp instead of a practice game. Recently, the team’s veteran batsman Steve Smith had said that practice matches in India are irrelevant. Instead, we have to focus more on our preparation at the nets.
Lion surprised in 2017
Elur was also chosen by Australia for the camp, because here he would also get a chance to keep his things away from the media before 4 weeks of tough struggle. Earlier in 2017 too, the team had done this, when spinners Nayan Lion and Steve O’Keefe surprised India with their performance. This time Australia has not only added Daniel Vetari with them for preparation, but has also called some bowlers including Abid Mushtaq of Jammu and Kashmir as net bowler.

Left-arm spinner Abid has taken 32 wickets in the current season of Ranji Trophy. Although the Kangaroo team has already faced R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. This time the team is paying more attention to left-arm spinner Akshar Patel. Akshar’s performance on the home ground has been excellent.
