Ahead of the third T20 International against Australia on Sunday,the Indian batter will breathe a simpler in the absence of Josh Hazlewood as they look to put up an better performance, but the puzzling exclusion of left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh continues to raise eyebrows.
pinpoint accuracy of Josh Hazlewood when it comes to hitting the right length, coupled with disconcerting bounce that he always causes around the corridor of unpredictability did become a bit of a nightmare for the batters of India.
With the Test which was started with Australia cricket team at the end of last month, Hazlewood has been given a break to rejuvenate before the exhausting five-Test series. Hazlewood won’t be part of the remainder of the series.
Star opener Abhishek Sharma had told after the Melbourne game as he seemed to be in awe of the Aussie speedster “It would obviously be a relief. I have never faced such bowling,”

And Hazlewood’s non attendance would also mean that Indian batters, who have serious technical flaws in transaction with bounce and seam movement, will feel a bit more assured while facing the likes of Nathan Ellis, Xavier Bartlett or Sean Abbott.
Both captain Suryakumar yadav and captain-in-waiting Shubman Gill have had problems arranging deliveries with extra bounce and good degree of seam movement. Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill would like to revisit their opening match’s playbook when they looked in soft touch at Canberra.
Side boundaries are smaller in size of the Bellerive Oval at the Hobart and hence the length would be paramount considering anything smaller would be point, square leg or mid-wicket on either side of the fence, flying over cover.
