Josh Hazelwood: Australian cricket team's dreaded fast bowler Josh Hazelwood is busy these days preparing for the five-match Test series to be played between India vs Australia. Josh Hazelwood does not want to leave any stone unturned for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Recently, during a conversation in one of his interviews, he told that he is very upset with a batsman of Team India.

Josh Hazelwood praised Rohit Sharma

Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has praised Indian captain Rohit Sharma ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024. Josh said that Rohit Sharma plays shots and scores runs very easily in difficult situations. Rohit has taken over the captaincy of the Test team in place of Virat Kohli and has so far scored 1101 runs as captain, which includes four centuries. Hazlewood says that it is difficult to bowl against Rohit. Hazlewood says that he plays fast bowlers well and he has no problem with the bounce or movement of the ball. In such a situation, it is very difficult to bowl to him. In such a situation, it should be believed that the Kangaroo fast bowler does not face any problem in bowling to Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Rohit Sharma's litmus test will be in Australia

Rohit Sharma's next big challenge will be five test matches in Australia. Hazlewood said that it is difficult to bowl against Indian team captain and opener batsman Rohit Sharma. He said that Rohit Sharma has long experience of batting in both middle order and opening in Test cricket. He plays fast bowlers well and has enough timing to play shots. However, it remains to be seen how this tour of Rohit Sharma goes.

Kangaroos are scared of these three players

Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon described Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant as the biggest threats for Australia. Lyon said, “Rohit, Kohli and Pant are the key players of the Indian team. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja are also good. India have players who perform well and we have to challenge their defence.” Australia has not won a Test series against India in the last decade, with Australia losing twice.
