Melbourne: The current Indian cricket team may not have got a lot of appreciation in the past three months but former Australia left-hander Mike Hussey believes that this bunch will be a “force” to reckon with in near future.
“India are an exciting team as I have loved watching them this summer. There is so much talent and I am sure they are going to be a force in years to come,” 39-year-old Hussey told PTI in an exclusive interview.
However, for ‘Mr Cricket’, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his boys are not among his semi-final picks.
“My semi-final line-up will be Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka,” Hussey said.
Unlike others, Hussey feels that facing short-pitched stuff is not an issue for the Indian batsmen. “The current players in the Indian team are adept at handling the short ball really well. That is what I have seen in the Test series,” said Hussey. Someone, who has grown up playing at the WACA in Perth, Hussey is of the opinion that Indians would love batting on a pitch which offers good bounce.
India are supposed to play two matches in Perth against United Arab Emirates and West Indies. (PTI)
