All-rounder Glenn Maxwell believes that Australia’s ability to overcome the formidable Indian spin combo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will determine their fate in the forthcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India is aiming for their third straight series win in the Antipodean country, having carved off historic victories in the 2018–19 and 2020–21 tours.

“I believe that after playing against players like Ashwin and Jadeja for a long time, those two seem to have been the ones we’ve faced regularly, and the battles we’ve had with them have frequently influenced the
Maxwell, who last played in a Test match in 2017, is no longer part of Australia’s cricket team, and he stated that the team must neutralize the experienced Indian spinners.
In 330 innings, the Ashwin-Jadeja combination has claimed an incredible 821 wickets, including 50 five-wicket hauls.
“When we play well against Ashwin and Jadeja, we’ll usually find ourselves in a better position than when they’re having a field day and blow us out of the water.
“Those two guys, who are similar in age, have been there for the majority of my career,” he continued.
Jasprit Bumrah, the pace leader, received high accolades from Maxwell as well for his growth as an all-format bowler.
The Victorian referred to Bumrah as the greatest in business right now.
He said, “It’s a pretty amazing story to see him go from a young, untapped talent to what he is now—the probably best bowler across all three formats.”
