Australia has not won a Test series in India since 2004. The four Test series will start in Nagpur from February 9. “The Australian team faced a duplicate of Ravichandran Ashwin in the first practice session of the Test tour,” reports cricket.com.au.
Australia have signed 21-year-old spinner Mahish Pithia, whose action resembles Ravichandran Ashwin, to practice batting on spin-friendly pitches in preparation for the upcoming Test series against India. The Australian countryside is very concerned about Ashwin. Australia has not won a Test series in India since 2004. The four Test series will start in Nagpur from February 9. “The Australian team faced a duplicate of Ravichandran Ashwin in the first practice session of the Test tour,” reports cricket.com.au.
It stated: “The focus was on countering spin and Pithia stood out among the local bowlers.” He bowled relentlessly without taking breaks and batted with problems like Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head. He first saw Ashwin playing against the West Indies in 2013 and has idolized him ever since.
Pithia, who made his first-class debut for Baroda in December, was called up by the Australian team after seeing his pictures on social media. The report stated: “No spinner in the world can match the challenge facing Ashwin, but Pithia is helping the Australian team help Australian batsmen.”
