The Australian cricket team is on a tour of India to participate in a four-match Test and three-match ODI series. The first Test of the series will begin in Nagpur on Thursday. Before the start of the bilateral series against India, Australia’s former wicketkeeper-batsman Ian Healy said that Australia will not win if India makes the same pitch as last time. The controversy started after this statement by the former Australian batsman. Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar said, When you become an international cricketer, you are supposed to play anywhere in the world. These are the challenges of the tour. We don’t expect turn wickets when we go to Australia. We know the wicket there will have a bit of bounce and pace. When Australia come to India they have to assume that the wicket here will be turned and the wicket will be slow. Sachin also said that every team is ready to give their best. They don’t think much about what happens around them and the group doesn’t always think about what outsiders are saying or what’s going on outside. They live in completely different places. I think Australia come to play without thinking about these and they should be ready to face the challenge.

Earlier, another legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar wrote in his column in Midday newspaper, Australia started mind games by talking about the pitch of the last tour. Countries, where Test matches end in two days, have no right to talk about India’s pitch. He also said that the Test match against South Africa in Brisbane is over in two days. After that Test, the question about the pitch was raised. Sunil Gavaskar also said, “The last two-day Test match at the Gabba showed us that the best batsmen of both the teams were at risk of death.” However, the Australian media says that since it is a batsman’s game, this type of pitch gives the bowlers some opportunities.

Gavaskar also said, why are you crying when the pitches of the Indian subcontinent turn from the first day? Bowlers also have a mind game, which is why batsmen scoring centuries or more in the Indian subcontinent are world-renowned.
