Test series loss to India was a massive wake-up call: Justin Langer

By Saurabh Sharma April 11, 2020 • 16:15 PM View: 1014

Melbourne, April 11: Australia head coach Justin Langer believes the home Test series loss to India two years ago was the defining moment of his coaching career as it provided him with a much-needed wake-up call.

It was on January 7, 2019 when Virat Kohli's men became the first-ever Indian team to register a Test series win in Australia. It was the first time since 1947, that India were able to register a Test series victory in Down Under as they defeated the Tim Paine-led side 2-1 in the four-match rubber.
