New Zealand Series Loss 'Might Awaken Sleeping Giant': Australia Pacer On Team India
Australian quick Josh Hazlewood expressed that India's rare series whitewash at home to New Zealand could "awaken a sleeping giant" as they prepare to take on the ICC World Test Championship table-toppers in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November 22 onwards. Indian team slid down to number two as the spin duo of Ajaz Patel and Glenn Phillips spun New Zealand to a 25-run win over India in the third Test at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, handing the hosts their first-ever series whitewash at home in a Test series of three or more matches. Speaking to Sydney Morning Herald, Hazlewood said, "It might awaken a sleeping giant, so to speak. We will see that when they come out."
