Australian cricketer Marcus Stoinis has confessed that the Indian players who do not even make the playing XI are far more talented than him. “India is the most talented team in the world. Hands down. The players not playing are way more talented than me,” Stoinis said in the recently released documentary on the Australian team.
India after taking the early 2-0 lead in the series faced three consecutive defeats and ended with the series loss 2-3.
“I love playing in India. I love the culture – its unmatched energy. It heightens all your senses. If you can harness all that excitement, that energy there is no way you can rock up there and not be motivated to play,” Stoinis further added.
In the same documentary, Australian team head coach Justin Langer also said that Indian captain Virat Kohli had got under the skin of his side during India’s hugely successful tour down under in 2018-19.
Kohli’s celebrations angered Langer but he could not be expressive about it.
“I remember that afternoon (feeling) like a punching bag. We can’t fight back because it felt like we had our hands behind our backs and we just had to take it,” Langer said in Amazon’s recently released docu-series titled ‘The Test’.
