India Play Foreign Wickets And Conditions Better Than Home: Ponting
And Nitesh Reddy: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that the Indian team plays better on foreign wickets and conditions than their home. The remarks came after India deflated Australia by 295 runs in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth.
After failing to capitalise on their decision to bat first in the first innings, the Jasprit Bumrah-led side bounced back in the second innings with strong batting performance from the top-three - Yashashvi Jasiswal (161), KL Rahul (77) and Virat Kohli (100 not out). The visiting team set a daunting 534 target against Australia to win the match which they failed to get as they crumbled against Indian pacers.
Bumrah scalped eight wickets in the match while Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana bagged five and four scalps, respectively.
