India's lower-order batters will make difference in Test series: Australia coach McDonald
Andrew McDonald believes India's strong lower-order batting, comprising Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel among others, will be the "differentiator" in the three remaining Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.Jadeja and Patel played a pivotal role with the bat in the first innings, slamming 70 and 84 respectively, as India amassed 400 runs in response to the visiting team's total of 177.That, along with Rohit Sharma's century and sterling bowling performances from Jadeja and Ashwin, helped the hosts thrash Australia by an innings and 132 runs inside three days at Nagpur to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.The two teams will play the second Test in New Delhi from February 17, and McDonald said India's lower-order batters will challenge his side.
