The word “Australian Cricket Team” in the game of cricket has given nightmares to teams and fans of almost all the teams that have played them in competitive cricket. Being the only team with five World Cups in their kitty, they have revolutionised the game. They are rated as the best team going in World cricket.
3 Indian origin players who have represented Australia
From time to time many stalwarts have played for Australia. They have played an instrumental role in taking the team to great heights and making them a dominant force in World cricket. However, you might not know that few Indians too have represented Australia in the sport. Let’s take a look at three of them.
Jason Sangha
An emerging Indian-origin player that is doing rounds in Australian Cricket is Jason Sangha. The all-rounder is considered as the best young player going in the country. He led his team to the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup and has been consistently playing BBL for Sydney Thunders. In domestic cricket, he plays for New South Wales and is the second-youngest cricketer to score a first-class century against England after the great Sachin Tendulkar. With the way he’s going he soon will play for the Australian main team.
That was a seriously good knock!
