Indian nice Sunil Gavaskar Friday warned Will Pucovski will face a brief ball barrage if picked for the primary Test in Adelaide, regardless of the Australian rookie recovering from concussion. With David Warner out of the subsequent week’s conflict with an adductor muscle damage, Pucovski, 22, was extensively tipped to interchange him and open with Joe Burns. But that’s up within the air after he was felled by a supply from Kartik Tyagi in a warm-up match this week, struggling “mild concussion symptoms”. He remained in Sydney to recuperate whereas the remainder of the squad travelled to Adelaide forward of the primary of 4 Tests beginning on December 17.
If Pucovski takes the sector, Gavaskar stated he could be honest recreation for short-pitched deliveries, regardless of having a historical past of concussions.
“Definitely. I think you would expect that to happen,” Sunil Gavaskar, who’s in Australia as commentator, advised the Sydney Daily Telegraph Friday.
“Once you enter the ground whether it’s playing for your country, or even playing for your state or club, you’re going to cop it.”
“If the word is that you’re not really comfortable against a particular delivery, you’re going to get a lot of it,” he added. “I don’t see India easing up because he’s had a history of concussion.”
He stated Australia would do the identical if an Indian participant had the same weak point, and pointed to Mohammed Shami as India’s finest short-ball proponent.
“He’s got as good a bouncer as any I’ve seen,” stated Gavaskar.
Despite what could possibly be a fiery reception, Australian tempo spearhead Pat Cummins insisted Pucovski may take no matter was thrown at him.
“For someone like Will, he has been hearing that for a couple of years and scoring two double centuries, back-to-back (in the Sheffield Shield) he can handle that pretty well,” he stated from Adelaide.

“Of course (short bowling) is a weapon we like to use, here in Australia there are slightly bouncier wickets and we try to push the batter back.
“But I am unable to see it being an excessive amount of of a headline-grabber this summer time.”
