Josh Hazlewood Warns Australia Ahead Of BGT After India's 3-0 Whitewash At Home

Australia National Cricket Team’s fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has expressed his thoughts on India’s potential in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, despite their recent setback. Following a surprising 0-3 defeat against New Zealand, Hazlewood believes this loss might ignite a fierce response from the Indian team, likening them to a “sleeping giant.”

Josh Hazlewood Warns Australia Ahead Of BGT After India’s 3-0 Whitewash At Home:

India’s Unexpected Defeat

India National Cricket Team faced a significant blow when they lost the Test series against New Zealand at home. This defeat not only dented their chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship final but also put them on the backfoot as they prepare to face Australia. Hazlewood acknowledged the monumental achievement of New Zealand, stating, “Credit to the Kiwi boys. They played outstanding cricket.” He also emphasized the rarity of such a sweep, noting, “To win 3-0 in India is unbelievable.”

Hazlewood’s Insights

During an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Hazlewood shared his views on the impact of defeat on the Indian team. “It might awaken a sleeping giant, so to speak,” he remarked, suggesting that a loss could serve as a motivational catalyst. Hazlewood further analyzed, “It’s better for them to lose 3-0 than win 3-0 easily. The confidence might have taken a bit of a hit.” He pointed out that while several Indian players are familiar with Australian conditions, some newer faces might be uncertain, potentially leveling the playing field.

The psychological Edge

Hazlewood sees the loss not just as a statistical setback but as a psychological turning point. “I don’t think you can read too much into it. The results are obviously good for us in a way,” he added, hinting at how this could play into Australia’s strategy. The defeat might have shaken India’s confidence, but Hazlewood wisely notes that underestimating them would be a mistake.

Looking Ahead

As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy approaches, all eyes will be on how India rebounds from their recent performance. Hazlewood’s comments not only give insight into his team’s preparation but also set the stage for what could be a highly competitive series. With the stakes high, the cricketing world waits to see if India will indeed rise as the “sleeping giant” Hazlewood foresees, or if Australia will capitalize on the momentum from India’s recent struggles.
