A subtle adjustment to his batting stance has proven to be the catalyst that has propelled Australia wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey into the form of his life as he heads into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. The 33-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is the leading run-getter in the first four rounds of Sheffield Shield matches this season, scoring 452 runs at an astonishing average of 90.4. "It's only slight, but at the moment, it feels like I'm in a good position and reacting pretty well to the ball," Carey was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au after Australia's first team training session here.

Not Steve Smith Or Pat Cummins, Aaron Finch Picks This Star As Australia's Key Player vs India

Former Australian skipper Aaron Finch said that Alex Carey and Rishabh Pant, two left-handed wicketkeeper-batters will be extremely important for their respective sides during the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India.

The series is extremely crucial for both sides' ICC World Test Championship final chances.

During the 17th over of the England innings, Harry Brook edged a delivery from Mitchell Starc and the ball flew towards the wicket-keeper behind the stumps. Inglis dived to his left to complete the catch and the umpire raised his finger in a moment.
