IND VS AUS: Not Starc-Head but Pat Cummins now 'scared' Team India like this, a big secret revealed before the Gaba Test
Only a few hours are left for the third Test between India and Australia to begin. Before this match to be played in Brisbane, Australian captain Pat Cummins has started playing mind games with Team India. He has tried to scare the Indian team by taking the name of his team's weak link Steve Smith. Regarding Smith, who is continuously flopping, Cummins has said that he is batting brilliantly and a big innings can be seen soon. Meanwhile, Smith's big secret has also come to light.
Smith looking sharper than ever.
Steve Smith has not been in form for some time. He is looking for runs. In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy too, he has been able to score only 19 runs in 3 innings at an average of 6. Whereas in the last 10 Test innings, he has scored 179 runs at an average of 17.91. In the Adelaide Test, he became the victim of Jaspreet Bumrah after scoring 2 runs. Despite this, Cummins has said that Smith is looking very sharp during net practice. It seems as if he has a lot of time.
However, many times Australian players keep using such mental tricks against the opposing teams. But this may also be true. In the meantime it has also been revealed that Smith had sought advice from legendary Australian batsman Michael Hussey on the issue of his batting.
Hussey gave this lesson to Smith
Steve Smith is worried about his form. In this connection, he met Michael Hussey before the Adelaide Test. During this, Hussey advised Smith to practice less. Hussey said that Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith practice a lot in the nets. But as the age increases, it benefits the players to practice less.
Michael Hussey believes that 35-year-old Smith needs to stay mentally and physically fresh more than training right now. According to Hussey, he gave the same advice to Smith. In the second Test, Smith missed a few sessions following his advice but the benefit was not seen. However, if what Cummins says is true then it is a matter of concern for Team India. Smith is such a batsman who does not get out when he is in form and scores big scores.
