Former Australian captain Aaron Finch has given a huge statement before the much-awaited WTC clash between India and Australia.. Finch has said that if Australia have to build pressure on team India, they need to get the star batter of team India Cheteshwar Pujara as soon as possible. He said that Pat Cummins and other Australian fast bowlers should look to make a proper plan for a star Indian batter.
While having a conversation on Star Sports in their special cricket show ‘Game Plan’ Finch was asked about the game plan for Cheteshwar Pujara. Finch talked about Pujara and said that it will be challenging for the Australian bowlers to get over Pujara.
Finch said,”Remember back to 2018, he batted for so long. We had an ODI series after it and the guys said if Pujara walks out to bat at No. 3 in this ODI series, we are going home, because he just ground everyone down.”
He further added,”He is a fantastic player. You have to attack him early. I think you have to challenge his front-foot defense in his first 10 balls. The first 10 is when everybody is at their most vulnerable, no different for him.”
Finch gave suggestions about what the Australian bowlers should do against Cheteshwar Pujara. He stated.”You have to be prepared to pitch it right up, get him driving early. If you let him just leave the ball on the back foot, nice and pretty bowling as it’s called, once he gets in, he is so hard to remove and you need something special.”
