The Border-Gavaskar trophy will be a battle of the top two sides in test cricket. India can reclaim the number one spot if they beat Australia by a margin of two tests. India, who are currently the number one side in ODI’s and T20i’s, will also be looking to cement themselves as the number one side in tests.
Speaking exclusively on Star Sports show ‘Game Plan’, former batting coach of the Indian cricket team Sanjay Bangar spoke about who he looks forward to seeing perform in the Border-Gavaskar test series.
“I mean, yes, we all know about the big stars, but maybe Siraj’s bowling. I look forward to seeing Siraj as a test bowler because all his performances in test cricket have come overseas in helpful conditions.
He has a phenomenal ability with the new ball and the old ball. Can he make a mark? Because if he does well along with Mohammed Shami, he can open up the game for the Indian spinners.”
