Toughest Challenge For An Indian Cricketer: Nayar

In the video, India batting coach Abhishek Nayar shares that the senior and younger players had a discussion where veterans like Kohli, Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin spoke about how touring Australia contributed to their growth as cricketers.

“It’s (Australia tour) one of the toughest challenges for an Indian cricketer coming here and overcoming it. We had a chat with the boys before we started. Some of the seniors boys as well – Booms (Bumrah), Kohli and Ash (Ashwin) – how they first came here as youngsters with a lot of seniors around and how they felt once you finish an Australia series, you go back a better cricketer. I think a lot of the young boys are really keen, raring to make a name for themselves by the end of this tour," Nayar said.

Bowling coach Morne Morkel said, “It’s (India vs Australia) a showpiece in the international calendar so the teams are not going to give an inch or sniff. And it’s going to be hard fought sessions."

Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate also highlighted the importance of the IND vs AUS series saying, “It’s become a big part of Indian cricket to come here (Australia) and do well. It’s obviously a proud moment that India have won twice as well as winning in India.”
