Australia’s latest opening batsman is twenty-six-year-old Marcus Harris. Fittingly, he scored 26 in both innings of his Test debut against Kohli & co. It’s a good job that he’s not a one-year-old!
India will expect to assume a 1-0 series lead provided their current position of superiority.
Given Australia’s penchant for changing their opening batsmen, Harris will have to do better than a pair of twenty-sixes to retain his position for next year’s Ashes series in England.
