India vs Australia 2017: 5 things Australia must do to win in Ranchi

#1 – Keep reminding India of the things at stake

Josh Hazlewood and David Warner have it in them to talk a big game

Amidst an intense battle between bat and ball, the Bengaluru Test hogged headlines for the players’ on-field antics. As with almost every other India-Australia contest, there were frequent exchanges of words which ultimately made the umpires earn their money’s worth.

With one more victory enough for Australia to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the pressure is on India who have not quite met the pre-series predictions. By persistently reminding the hosts of the things at stake, they can give themselves a better chance to clinch pressure moments.

If anything comes naturally to the Aussies, then it’s probably running their mouths off to unbearable levels and psychologically unsettling the opposition.
