Veteran Australian opener Usman Khawaja backed his new opening partner Nathan McSweeney, urging him to play his own game against India in Perth rather than trying to ape David Warner, who was a "special player" in his own right.

Focus On Rinku Singh's Form And Batting Position As India Aim Series Win vs South Africa
