As far as India’s matches against Australia are concerned, there’s no shortage of entertainment. Apart from some jaw-dropping competition between both bat and ball, some verbal altercations time and again also spice up their rivalry. India have done well in limited-overs cricket in Australia, but don’t have an overwhelming Test record in the country by any means.

The hosts won’t be having the services of David Warner and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/psl-2019-the-sixth-team-picks-steve-smith-for-the-upcoming-edition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steve Smith</a> in the upcoming series&#8217; and hence India are speculated to go into the series with the upper hand. Nevertheless, there will be external factors, which may turn out to be detrimental to their journey Down Under. In our article, we take a look at some elements from which the visitors need to be careful of.

The Aussie media is a brutal one and even they don’t leave any stone unturned in getting under the skins of the visiting teams. The same is in order to ruffle the feathers of the opposition players and divert their focus from the cricket pitch. Australia won’t be full-strength by any stretch of the imagination and their media would be fully aware of the same.

They would be trying their hearts out to divert India’s focus from the field of play. This is exactly where the Indian cricketers need to play smart and not put much heed to the talks circulated by the media. Rather, they should devote their full energy and concentration to the cricket they play. In the end, all would come down to how the players perform in the middle.

The Australian supporters don’t make it easy for the visitors as well. They remain present at the venues and try to disturb the concentration of the players, resorting to some undesired tactics. Back in 2012, when <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/australia-vs-india-3-aussie-players-who-could-sledge-virat-kohli/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> was a rookie in Test cricket and didn’t have much of an experience at the international circuit, the audience made him a target and made odd gestures from the stands.

The same disgusted Virat to a large extent and he retaliated in a rather vulgar manner, using his middle-figure. Kohli had to pay a price for the gesture as he was fined 50 percent of his match fees. After six years, the 30-year-old is a matured lot and this time around, the fans may go after someone, who hasn’t quite found his feet at the highest level. The players need to show maturity and not react to them.

Opinions from former cricketers

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-294604" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Shane-Warne-1.jpg" alt="Shane Warne" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-294604" class="wp-caption-text">Shane Warne.

The former cricketers make their contributions as well in exerting pressure on the foreign cricketers during a tour. Nowadays almost every former player is associated with the media and they either write columns or voice their opinions. One example could be someone talking about how an Australian fast bowler can get rid of an opposition batsman in the match.

Their comments are for making the rivals’ players think hard and be wary of whom they are going to play against. The likes of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/australia-vs-india-shane-warne-picks-the-hosts-eleven-for-the-adelaide-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shane Warne</a> and others have also been seen providing advice to the Aussies during the course of an encounter. India, on the contrary, don’t take such steps.  The Indians can’t afford to let these tactics affect them if they want to do well in the encounters.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-103166" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Mitchell-Starc.jpg" alt="Mitchell Starc of Australia" width="600" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-103166" class="wp-caption-text">Mitchell Starc of Australia. (Photo by Cameron Spencer/Getty Images)</figcaption>

The pitches in Australia are more about pace and bounce than prodigious seam movement. Hence, it won’t be surprising if the Aussies test the Indian batsmen out with some short-pitched deliveries. India have often been found wanting with the chin music and this time around, the likes of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-is-such-a-nice-guy-off-the-field-mitchell-starc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitchell Starc</a> and Co would be desperate to have a crack at their rivals’ batting lineup.

Moreover, India very much depend on perceptions about the nature of the strips. They generally don’t take into account the weather conditions prior to selecting a playing eleven. Their bizarre methods have cost them quite a few games and subsequently, they have been criticised as well. India won’t make to make the same mistake as it can land them in deep water.
