By India Today Web Desk: Senior Australia cricketer David Warner said that he cannot wait for the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India.
The much-awaited Test series between India and Australia will begin on February 9 in Nagpur. This is the last four-Test BGT series between the two sides.
An excited Warner took to Twitter, saying: “First game, I am absolutely pumped to be back in India and can’t wait to get the broom out tomorrow.” The Australian also asked his fans to “Give me your predictions??”
Meanwhile, Australia spinner Nathan Lyon said that he is ready to think outside the box if need arises in the Test series. Australia are gearing to face the Indian challenge, having lost the last three Test series to India.
“I haven’t had the chance to have the better series I guess, and win the series as of yet. That is certainly a goal as the Australian cricket team. But as a senior player, I think for us it’s just about doing the basics. If we do the basics really well and stay in our lane, I think we’ll give our self the best chance to have success,” Lyon said on Star Sports.
“But we also may have to think outside the box in tactics and a way we go about it too. That’s what I love about coming over here, it’s always challenging, it’s always something different happening. The wickets are going to be totally different than what we are used to at home. The crowds obviously a lot different as well. Obviously, they’re all going for India and so it’s pretty amazing to be honest.”
Following the first Test in Nagpur, India and Australia will travel to Delhi, Dharamsala and Ahmedabad for the remaining three Tests.
