‘Controlled aggression’ from captain Cummins propelled Australia to series-levelling win in Adelaide, says former ‘keeper Gilchrist

Former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist said that the ‘controlled aggression’ of captain Pat Cummins spurred Australia to a series-levelling win in the Adelaide pink-ball Test against India. “You could see just through his celebrations that… every wicket that he took he was more aggressive in his celebration,” Gilchrist said on Fox Cricket’s The Follow-on podcast. “They were just a unit, the three bowlers, Nathan Lyon only had one over and Mitch Marsh four, but other than that the big three, Starc, Boland, Cummins hunted as a pack and bowled as a unit and that was really fun to watch,” he added. The former captain said the Aussies were ‘stung’ following the 295-run loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener in Perth.
