IND vs AUS, 1st Test: India’s confidence “damaged” but Australia won’t underestimate visitors says Labuschagne

The Hindu  

A shattering defeat to New Zealand on home soil would have caused a “little bit of damage” to India’s confidence but Australia will not make the mistake of underestimating the visitors, said charismatic batter Marnus Labuschagne here on Tuesday. They played in completely different conditions — spinning conditions — but having India come here off the back of a loss at home is something that’s never happened before,” Labuschagne told the media. I think that’s going to do a little bit of damage to their confidence.” However, Labuschagne insisted that Australia, who have lost each of their last four series to India both home and away, will have to guard against complacency. “That’s what happened in 2021 — the likes of Natarajan played, Siraj got his first crack in Australia, Washington Sundar played,” Labuschagne recalled.
