Batsman Rohit Sharma is not in India's limited overs team on the Australia tour. Of course, it is a big loss for India and Australia's allrounder, Glaon Maxwell, also believes that India has Rohit's options and Lokesh Rahul is a big name. Rohit was not selected by the selectors on the Australian round due to muscle injury. Later, though he got a place in the Test team, he is not in the limited overs series. UP Hindi Samachar and India Hindi Samachar with new update.
Maxwell spoke to some selected media institutions in India through a video conference on Friday, including the Ians.
"He is a class batsman," Maxwell said of Rohit. As an opener, he has consistently done well. His name is also some double century. His not being in the team is a good thing for the opposition team, but India has backups that can compensate them. Lokesh Rahul is a name. He has performed brilliantly in the past IPL. He is in superb form and also does the opener. He is the best batsman. "
Maxwell played for Kings eleven Punjab in the IPL where he was accompanied by Mayank Agarwal and Mohammad Shami besides Rahul. Maxwell praised the three. On asking about an Indian bowler, Maxwell said that Shami can do well on Australian land.
"I have seen Shami very closely," he said. With Shami, I played for Kings eleven Punjab in this IPL and have already played with him in Delhi. He swings the ball. The merit of his new ball makes them dangerous. "
Regarding Rahul and Mayank, Maxwell said, "Both of the players I have met are superb. Both of them are good people and are also good players. There are very few shortcomings, but ODI cricket is different. We can bring them under pressure from the bowling attack that we have. There is also a high bounce in pitches. Nevertheless, both of them are excellent batsmen. "
Maxwell said that playing with Shami and Rahul in Punjab will help him a little bit in the forthcoming series.
The right-hander said, "I can get help while facing Shami, but bowling will not help Rahul much. I stood at the midoff and talked to Shami about how he was looking at the batsmen, what he was thinking. So I know how he thinks. This will help me. "
The series between India and Australia is always exciting and highly competitive. Maxwell said his team has the clout to hit India and so this time too the series will be very exciting.
"We are preparing to do better against India," he said. His batting is world class, his bowling too. We can match them in every case, so it will be an exciting series. "
India is also to play a four-match Test series in addition to the three-match ODI series and the three-match T20 series on the Australia tour. The ODI series will begin from The Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) from November 27. The second match will also be played on the same ground on 29th. The third ODI will be played at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on December 2. The series will be broadcast on Sony Ten-1, Sony Ten-3 and Sony six channels.
