Akash-Bumrah’s Fightback Can Propel Belief Into India’s Top Order: Vettori
With India’s top order once again failing to hit the mark, barring KL Rahul who continued his fine showing in Australian conditions with a valiant 84-run innings, Australia assistant coach Daniel Vettori believes the showing by Bumrah and Akash can propel belief back into India’s top order for the remainder of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
“I think we expect everything, I think we understand that any batter on any given day can step up and deliver, so I don't think we assume that anyone's going to live up to the average. I think you look at those averages and you think there's not much there, but Bumrah has proven that. He's been able to put on partnerships, he's been proven that he can attack and he can defend, and I think Akash’s better than a number 11, so the team within themselves all understand that every wicket's vitally important, so there was no reason to back off at all,” said Vettori at the post-day press conference.
