New Delhi, Sep 27: All-rounder Glenn Maxwell feels that Australia’s success in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy is directly linked with how their batters negate the ace Indian spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
India are eyeing their third successive series triumph in the Antipodean nation after etching epochal victories during the 2018-19 and 2020-21 tours.
In fact, India remain the only Asian nation to beat the Australia at their home in a Test series.
Maxwell said Ashwin and Jadeja have often dictated the course of the game.
“I think that over a long period of time, having played against guys like Ashwin and Jadeja, those two seem to have always been the ones we’ve faced consistently, and the battles we’ve had with them have often dictated the outcome of the game,” Maxwell said.
Maxwell, who no longer features in Australia’s Test cricket scheme of things, having played his last match in 2017, said the Aussies will have to nullify the senior Indian spinners.
The Ashwin-Jadeja combine has taken a whopping 821 wickets between then in 330 innings with 50 five-wicket hauls. (PTI)
