I am 100 percent sure India will beat Australia in Australia, the pressure is on Pat Cummins not Rohit Sharma” – Chetan Sharma on 2024/25 BGT

Former Indian pacer Chetan Sharma is optimistic of India beating Australia in Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series. Sharma feels the pressure is on Australian captain Pat Cummins and not Rohit Sharma. 

India has won the last two Test series while playing in Australia by 2-1 and they will look to replicate the same success. However, India recently suffered a 0-3 Test series loss against New Zealand despite playing at home, which ended their dominant run in home conditions.

“I am 100 percent sure India will beat Australia in Australia. Under Rohit’s captaincy, we will make it a hat trick in Australia. India will defeat Australia on their own turf once again. We have already defeated Australia twice in their own backyard. They must be worried, not us. Pressure is on Australia, not India. The pressure is on Pat Cummins, not Rohit Sharma,” Chetan Sharma said on Times of India.

Sharma noted that India are no longer the underdogs when they tour overseas and they start as series-winning contenders.

“We have always enjoyed when India tour Australia, South Africa or England. The best part is that we now enter as series-winning contenders whenever we tour overseas.When their players are saying this will be a good series, understand how much nervousness they must be feeling inside,” Chetan Sharma added.

On the other hand, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are under the pump for their mundane form in the recent past. However, the former Indian selector said it is imperative to honour and respect what the veteran duo has done for Indian cricket.

“Let’s honour and respect what Rohit and Virat have done for the country. Players like Rohit and Virat are never out of form. They are never in a lean or bad patch. These words shouldn’t be used for them. We are thankful to them. They are still doing it. We always talk about them and focus on them and want them to shine every time because they are superstars. Just wait and watch what Rohit and Virat do in Australia. They will dazzle with their bats,” said Sharma.

The opening Test match between India and Australia will be played at Perth from November 22 onwards.
