Aus vs Ind: India's Bowling Attack Not The Strongest Without Ishant, Says Smith

By IANS News December 10, 2020 • 13:56 PM View: 2082

Prolific Australian batsman Steve Smith on Thursday said that the Indian bowling attack may not be their strongest ever without Ishant Sharma but he will still have to be 'watchful' against Jasprit Bumrah whom most of the players in the team will face for the first time in Test cricket in the upcoming four-match series.

The Indian pace attack is likely to present a stiff challenge to the Aussies as only two of the nine batsmen in the current Test Australian squad -- Tim Paine and Travis Head -- have had the experience of playing both Bumrah and Mohammed Shami in a Test match.
