The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is generating a lot of interest, and statements are beginning to come in from all directions. November marks the start of the five-match series between India and Australia, and the Australian captain has identified Rishabh Pant as a possible danger man. Although Cummins chose to bench the all-star Indian team of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali had other ideas.
When it comes to playing under pressure in Test matches against Australia, Virat Kohli has an incredible record. In 2019, the star batter even guided India to the BGT. Furthermore, Bumrah is at his most deadly and in peak physical condition. According to Basit, it’s all just a mental game for Cummins to ignore the trio of Rohit, Kohli, and Bumrah. He also mentioned that Mohammed Shami and the trio are dominating their clocks when they’re at the drawing board.
“They are tricking their minds. Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Rohit Sharma, and Australia will be afraid of them. Pant has recently scored runs. They’re teasing each other. They’re attempting to go after Pant. This is how they see things. On his YouTube channel, Basit stated, “They are thinking about other things and showing something else.”
I want Ashwin to respond as follows: Basit Ali
Speaking of mind tricks, famed Australian spinner Nathan Lyon declared outright that his country will beat India 5-0. According to Basit, the phrase is inappropriate for a cricket player. Additionally, Basit Ali asked Ravichandran Ashwin, Lyon’s Indian counterpart, to respond appropriately.
“On Nathan Lyon’s foolish claim that Australia will beat India in six Tests, I will only comment verbally. Australia has been dominated by India in the last two series.

Cricketers aren’t suited for remarks like these. Such claims might be made by former cricket players like Ricky Ponting. Last Monday, Basit stated, “I ask Ashwin to respond and state that India will defeat Australia 5 to 0.”
