“Wicket that can by Terrifying…” Australian superstar warns team India about Pitch in Perth before Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25

Before the series opener of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Travis Head warned Indian team about the difficult pitch conditions of the stadium in Perth.

Australian star batter Travis Head has given a warning to the Indian team ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener. The series is going to be held in Perth, Australia, which is well-known for its infamous bouncy pitch.

Travis, who himself has a fair amount of experience on the challenging conditions provided by Perth, remembered how he got dismissed twice in the last India v Australia Test held there in 2018. He highlighted how certain part of wickets in Perth can be incredibly intimidating, which pose a massive challenge for the batters.

“I do know that I’ve enjoyed batting here – in parts. There are parts of this wicket that can be terrifying, simple as that. I think everyone’s talked about that. Depending on where the wicket goes to on day three, four and five, it can be challenging,” said Travis on the Unplayable Podcast.

India’s squad for Border-Gavaskar Trophy:
Rohit Sharma (C), Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (Wk), Sarfaraz Khan, Virat Kohli, Prasidh Krishna, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammad Shami, Rishabh Pant (Wk), KL Rahul, Harshit Rana, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar.
