RP Singh then spoke about the Test series and said that the bowling attack of both teams are equally good. He first spoke about the Aussie bowling attack having the likes of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.
“The chances of India winning are higher than Australia’s, but it will be an equal fight. I think the bowling departments of both teams are equal, as Australia have pacers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins. But I think India has the upper hand in batting department,” he opined.
RP Singh then moved on to the Indian bowling attack having the likes of Mohammed Shami & Jasprit Bumrah. Meanwhile, India will miss the services of Ishant Sharma who is expected to miss the Test series. RP Singh picked up 13 wickets from four Tests in India’s tour to Australia in 2008.
