"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.
