Former Indian Batsman Sanjay Manjrekar said “Josh Hazlewood is likely to post the biggest challenge for the batsman of Team India at the final day of the Ongoing Brisbane Test.
Team India Need 324 runs on the final day of the series to win the back-to-back Test series in Australia. However, the hosts will go all out for a win, as a draw will allow India to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
In a discussion of the Sony Sports network about the biggest challenge for the Indian Batsman, Sanjay Manjreker was quick to take the name of Jost Hazlewood.

He also said that Pat Cummins has been the most powerful Australian bowler in the series, He pointed out that Josh Hazlewood is best suited to utilize the cracks emerging on the Field.
“His name is Josh Hazlewood because the crack is there in a perfect line for him. Pat Cummins is a better strike bowler, but certain bowlers prove to be more dangerous based on the pitch, and I feel the biggest threat for the Indian batsmen will be Josh Hazlewood.”
Manjrekar added that while Cummins has drawn all the plaudits, Josh Hazlewood is the most successful bowler in the Australian attack.

Former Indian Bowler Zaheer Khan also concurred with Manjrekar and observed that Josh Hazlewood’s bowling is similar to Glenn McGrath and might post the biggest threat for India Team. He said:
“He will do his job. We have Glenn McGrath in our commentary panel, who has been a great bowler and also used to do a similar thing. If you ask Hazlewood, somewhere or the other Glenn McGrath’s influence has been there on his cricket and his career.”
Josh Hazlewood is the second-highest wicket-taker in the ongoing India-Australia Test series. He has accounted for 16 wickets, just one short of his compatriot Pat Cummins.
