‘Had He Been There, He Would Have Dominated Lyon And Kuhnemann’, Danish Kaneria Names The Biggest Missing Of India

Australia has clinched a 9-wicket victory over India in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar trophy. With this win, the Aussies are now standing 2-1 in this series. The venue of this third Test match, Holkar stadium, Indore was much criticized for its pitch. The Indian batters who are known to play spin very well seemed clueless.

Meanwhile, the former spinner of Pakistan Danish Kaneria has named a player whom India missed much in this series and it will be hard to find his replacement.

Danish Kaneria, a former Pakistani spinner, commented on India’s batting difficulties against spin and noted that the absence of Rishabh Pant from the Indore Test was unfortunate since his aggressive style would have dominated Lyon and Kuhnemann.

After being injured in a tragic accident in December 2022, Pant is currently making a full recovery. According to reports, the wicketkeeper-batter won’t be able to play cricket for more than a year. Kaneria claimed that Pant would not have spared Kuhnemann and Lyon if he had stomped all over the park with his feet.

“If you would ask Rishabh Pant how to bat against these spinners, he would tell you to use your feet, get to the pitch of the ball, and smash the ball a long way. Had he been there, he wouldn’t have spared Lyon and Kuhnemann. He would have forced them to change their lengths by attacking them. Indian batters have been disappointing,” Kaneria was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.

The Pak spinner further explained, “India could have batted properly and scored 250-300 in their first innings. But their unnecessary stroke play has now put Australia in the ascendancy and I feel there’s an 80 percent chance that Australia will win this game now.”

India will play the fourth and final Test of this four-match series in Ahmedabad.
