Leave aside Steve Smith and Travis Head, this batsman became a new threat for Team India, scoring 452 runs in 3 matches.

In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting between India and Australia, the Indian team and Indian players are being discussed continuously. Captain Rohit Sharma not playing the first test, Shubman Gill getting injured, Virat Kohli and Jaspreet Bumrah's coverage in the Australian media have been in the headlines for the last several days. The discussion about the Australian team is about players like Steve Smith, Travis Head, and captain Pat Cummins. All three of these stars will prove to be a big threat to the Indian team, but the Australian player who has not been discussed so far is the team's wicketkeeper Alex Carey, whose bat has rained runs in the last few days.

Alex Carey becomes a big threat.

Alex Carey does not have the status and popularity of Team India's star Rishabh Pant as a wicketkeeper-batsman. He has played some strong innings for Australia but the way Rishabh Pant has batted brilliantly in difficult grounds like Sydney, Brisbane, Birmingham to Johannesburg has made Pant a hit. In such a situation, while there is a bit of tension in the Australian media and former cricketers about the Indian wicketkeeper, there is no such concern about Alex Carey in the Indian camp, especially among the Indian fans, but the time has come to change this.

Usually, only the big names of the Australian team can be seen as a threat to Team India, but this time Carey cannot be ignored.

Carey, who performed well in the ODI series on the England tour two months ago, has batted brilliantly in Australia's domestic first-class tournament Sheffield Shield. Playing for South Australia, Carey scored 452 runs in 6 innings of just 3 matches at an amazing average of 90, which includes 2 centuries. His scores were something like this - 90, 111, 42, 123 (not out), 44, 42. That is, not a single small score.

The success of the Australian team will depend on the strong innings of batsmen like Usman Khawaja, Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, and Head in its top order. Whatever is said about the bowling attack like Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon is less. But this form of Carey shows that even if Team India finishes Australia's top order quickly, it will not be easy to overcome Carey. Although the record of this left-handed batsman against India is not very special and he has scored only 170 runs in 8 innings, looking at this record, Team India will not make the mistake of taking him lightly.
