India vs Australia Live Score: IND Head coach’s advice for his team

India vs Australia Live Score: Speaking ahead of the game India head coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar in a video posted by ICC said, “It keeps you honest (close finishes in big matches). It was a great match. South Africa challenged us all the way and were really good. Just be natural, keep it simple,” 

“So as coaches, it comes down to sharing our experiences on how to handle certain situations because we have done it more often than them. They are still coming up in terms of experience. It is also about utilizing and considering their experience, what they have done on these pitches against good oppositions. The combination of both does the trick usually. They know how to bat, bowl, field, are really good at it. They have all the attacking strokes. It is just about getting them to know what is the right decision, to handle certain situation or pitches. It is more mental and about decision-making,” Kanitkar added.
