He's Been Consistent for India Throughout the Series - Michael Vaughan
Michael Vaughan said that he wants Sam Konstas and Yashasvi Jaiswal to be aggressive and take risks. Vaughan also stated that Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Jasprit Bumrah, and Scott Boland will form a formidable quartet.
"I think he’s been consistent for India throughout the series. Steve Smith goes in at four, Travis Head at No. 5, and Rishabh (Pant) at No. 6. My spinning all-rounder is Jadeja, and just look at that quartet of bowlers you’ve got: Cummins, Starc, Bumrah, and Boland, and it doesn’t get much better than that."
