"Fitting In...": Usman Khawaja On "Biggest Challenge" While Playing For Australia

Pakistan-born Australia Test opener Usman Khawaja feels the biggest challenge throughout his career has been fitting in the national team by being true to himself and also earning the respect of his teammates through his on-field performances. Born in Islamabad, Khawaja was the first Pakistan-born cricketer to play Test cricket for Australia when he made his debut in 2011. "The biggest challenge for me throughout my career playing for Australia has been fitting in. For me it is always about fitting in and feeling like I can be myself in the Australian cricket team and that has taken a little bit of time," Khawaja told the ICC.

"You Never Write Off A Great Player": Usman Khawaja On David Warner Ahead Of WTC Final

Australian left-handed batter Usman Khawaja believes that his opening partner David Warner is showcasing some best cricket for quite some time. Two months ago in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the left-handed batter only managed to score 26 runs from three innings against India. Overall Warner has had a poor form according to his own standards. His excellence was on display last year as he struck a mesmerising 200 in his 100th Test match against South Africa in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. But now Warner will be looking to overcome his poor form of run and showcase his true skill and experience.

'England The Toughest Place In World To Bat For Top-Three Batters: Usman Khawaja

Australia opener Usman Khawaja believes England's pitches are the ultimate Test for top-three batters and the only way to train for the conditions there is to work really hard and have very low expectations. Khawaja has struggled in English conditions, averaging just 19.66 from six Tests, which is a below-average showing from him given that he has scored an amazing 1,608 runs at 69.91 in 16 Tests since he was recalled to the Test side in January last year. The 36-year-old is expected to be in the thick of things during the World Test Championship final against India and the subsequent five-Test Ashes series in England.

"He's So Valuable": Cameron Green Reveals How Usman Khawaja Helped Him During Ahmedabad Test

Australia all-rounder Cameron Green is seventh time lucky as he has converted a half-century into hundred and now feels more like a Test cricketer with "monkey off your back". Green, who is playing his 20th Test, scored 114 off 170 balls and his innings was no less significant than Usman Khawaja's 180 that took Australia to a solid first innings score of 480 on the second day of the fourth Test against India on Friday. "You feel more like a Test cricketer when you've got that monkey off your back, so it is nice to tick that off in a way. It's so special," Green told reporters at the end of the day's play.

"Was Told I Can't Play Spin": Usman Khawaja Recalls Tough Period After Ton Against India

Australia opener Usman Khawaja can't remember if he "smiled" like he did after completing a very special Test hundred on Indian soil. It is an accomplishment he hadn't dreamt of, having carried the drinks on his previous tours of India in 2013 and 2017. Khawaja, Australia's best batter on this tour, batted for six hours to grind down a quality attack, scoring an unbeaten 104 out of team's 255 for four on Thursday. "I don't think I have ever smiled so much on getting a century, there was emotion in it. I have done two (Test) tours of India before (2013 and 2017). Carried the drinks for eight Test matches before I got a chance here," you could feel the pain and joy in his words.

"Really Starting To Hurt Them": Australia Great's Brutal Verdict On Rohit Sharma And Co

Former Australian cricket team captain Ian Chappell criticised Indian bowlers' strategy against Usman Khawaja during Day 1 of the fourth Test match between India and Australia in Ahmedabad on Thursday. The pitch did not favour the bowlers much and although India were able to take two wickets in the first innings of the game, Khawaja played a gritty knock to slam his 14th Test hundred. Mohammed Shami was the only Indian bowler with two wickets while the spinner were unable to trouble the Australia opener. Chappell said in a recent interaction that the Indian spinners got their strategy completely wrong against Khawaja and that can end up hurting them in the crucial Test match.

"This Pitch Talk Is Just Getting...": India Skipper Rohit Sharma's Blunt Take After Indore Test Loss

India skipper Rohit Sharma expressed his displeasure over the talks around the pitches for the ongoing India vs Australia Test series. The pitch in Nagpur, that hosted the first match, became a talk of the town even before the start of the series. The second and third Tests took place in Delhi and Indore, respectively, and the surfaces of both the venues also came under the radar of critics for the amount of turn they offered to the spinners. It is worth noting that all the three matches ended in less than three days.
