Boxing Day Test: Bowling In Partnerships Is Key, Says Skipper Ajinkya Rahane

By IANS News December 25, 2020 • 16:26 PM View: 786

Skipper Ajinkya Rahane, who will be leading India in the Boxing Day Test against Australia, is unfazed by the absence of two of the three bowlers who played a key role in helping the team win the 2018-19 Test series, saying the onus lies on bowlers to bowl in partnerships.

India will enter the second Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Saturday with five bowlers as they look to fill the void left by the absence of pace bowler Mohammad Shami, who has been ruled out of the remaining three Test because of a fracture in his right hand he sustained in the first Test.
