Singh’s comments come in the wake of Australia’s previous struggles on Indian soil. He pointed out that despite Australia’s impressive squad depth, the Indian conditions present unique challenges that can unsettle even the most seasoned players. He noted that Indian pitches, particularly those in Kanpur, tend to favor spin bowling, which could exploit the weaknesses in Australia’s batting lineup.

Singh stressed the importance of adaptability and preparation for the Australian side, suggesting that they must embrace the subcontinental conditions if they hope to succeed. He pointed to India’s recent dominance at home, where they have built a formidable record, making it clear that Australia cannot afford to underestimate their opponents.
The former selector highlighted key Indian players who could pose significant threats, including their spin attack led by Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. He urged Australia to prepare thoroughly for these conditions, emphasizing that a failure to do so could lead to disastrous results.
Singh concluded with a call for focus and determination from the Australian camp, warning that their performance in Kanpur would set the tone for the rest of the series. With the BGT poised to be a closely contested battle, all eyes will be on how both teams perform in this crucial series, which could shape their respective legacies in international cricket.
