Australia Tour: Host Bowlers Will Get The Advantage Of Height But We Are Ready For Challenge: Rohit

• India’s tour of Australia begins in Brisbane on November 21 with the first T-20 match.
• The Indian team has played 11 Test series in Australia so far, but not a single win.

Brisbane: #Rohit Sharma believes that Australian bowlers will get benefit from their height on the home ground, but the Indian batsmen are all set to deal with the host team’s challenges. However, Rohit acknowledges that it is difficult to face fast pitches in Australia. India’s tour of Australia begins on November 21 with the first T20 International match in Brisbane.

Australia’s fast bowlers take advantage of domestic conditions: Rohit said, “India has always been playing in Perth and Brisbane. The conditions of both the grounds are challenging. Australia has heightened bowlers, these conditions are favorable for them. They take advantage of them. ‘ Team India will play in the second Test in Perth from December 14 to 18.

However, Rohit claimed, “Indian batsmen are generally not as tall as them, so for us, batting here will not be easy, but this time our team is determined to change things. We are fully prepared to accept the challenge.”

Rohit said, “It’s a challenge for our players to bat here but most of the team has played in Australia before, so they understand the conditions. Whatever format we play, their bowling attack will challenge us, but our batsmen are ready for that.”

In the tour of Australia, India will play in the first three matches of the T-20 series, then four Tests and three one-day matches. India has played 11 Test series so far in Australia. Of these, it has not won any match, while in eight it has to face defeat.

After the practice session on Gabba ground in Brisbane, Rohit said, ‘whenever you are on a foreign tour, there is always a special experience. Australia is a place where we want to leave our identity. We will work here as a unit.’

He said, “Last time we played Test Series here. However, we lost both Tests and had two Test draws. However, I believe that some of the matches, especially in Brisbane, were very close to the test. This time our aim is to redeem all the opportunities.”
