Pat Cummins has won almost all major series and tournaments under his captaincy. But the Indian team has won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the last 4 times. On two occasions, India defended the trophy by defeating Australia at home. While the Australian team has not been able to beat the Indian team in this series for the last 10 years, that is, since 2014. But captain Pat Cummins is desperate to defeat India this time. The series hasn’t started yet and he has already started showing his attitude. In his recent statement, Cummins called for India’s situation to be similar to the ODI World Cup.
What did Pat Cummins say?
The Indian team will soon embark on a tour of Australia for a five-match Test series. Considering the World Test Championship, this series will be very important for both the teams. Cummins recently spoke about this series during an event. Before the match starting on November 22, he asked that India’s condition be like the ODI World Cup final.
In fact, Cummins said that “when a team is under pressure, it’s not a bad thing to play against them.” He has also performed well coming here before. But our job is to keep them calm. Pat Cummins also said the same during the ODI World Cup 2023. Just before the final match, he addressed the Indian fans and said, “There can be nothing more satisfying than seeing a big crowd calm down.”
Border-Gavaskar Trophy is the only target
Pat Cummins has already won the Ashes series, World Test Championship and ODI World Cup for Australia. But he is yet to be awarded the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. As a player he couldn’t win it. Therefore, before the start of the series, Cummins has said that the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is such a big series that there is a lot left. According to Cummins, after losing two consecutive series at home, everyone is taking it seriously and next season will be very important. The whole team is preparing hard and there is a lot of hope of doing well.
