Story Highlights
- The Indian team was severely criticized after the defeat in the first Test.
- The team was reduced to its minimum test score in Adelaide
- Both teams will do two hands in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne
Veteran Shane Warne believes that the Indian cricket team would still have suffered due to the humiliating defeat in the Adelaide Test and the Australian team would tear it apart in the Boxing Day Test. Australia won by 8 wickets after India reduced their minimum test score to 36 runs in the first Test.
The second match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) will take place from Saturday, in which Indian captain Virat Kohli will not play, who has returned home due to the birth of his first child. Warne told ‘Fox Cricket’, ‘I think the Australian team will tear them apart.’
He said, ‘India has great players like KL Rahul. Young Shubman Gill will also be in the team. Ajinkya Rahane is also a great player and we know what Cheteshwar Pujara can do. Warne said, “Not playing Mohammed Shami is also a big loss. He is a great player. The pitch in Melbourne was also favorable to his bowling.

The Indian team received a lot of criticism after the embarrassing defeat in the first Test, but Warne said that instead of blaming the Indian batsmen, the Australian fast bowlers should be praised. He said, ‘I would give credit to the Australian bowlers, who bowled so well. All four bowlers and Cameron Green performed together. They are becoming great bowlers.
He said, ‘Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon have been doing well for a long time. They will definitely be compared to bowlers from my time. If the next 4 or 5 years continue to play like this, it will probably be Australia’s best bowling attack ever.
