“Great to see David get an opportunity. He’s been right there with the best in the world, the middle order of T20 cricket is a really tough spot to bat in. You see most of the run-scorers open the batting. Or batting in the top order. When the spin bowler is bowling it is difficult to be consistent and he has been brilliant.

“I think a lot of games are played at a different pace in India than in Australia, the boundaries are a little bit shorter in general. I think you need to adapt really quickly, you will have a few days Where the wicket will be a bit slow, then the cutters and those kinds of things are really important for the bowlers. So, everyone here in India has played a lot and everybody understands it. It’s a format, you have to be prepared for it. , and if the day doesn’t work, you need to move on from it quickly,” he said.
