Explanation of David Warner Teammate to Why Warner Turned Right Handed Against R. Ashwin
Australia bowling all-rounder Sean Abott said The batsman of the Australian cricket team, David Warner, employed a rather bizarre tactic of batting right-handed against R Ashwin in the second ODI because of the turn the Indian was generating from the Indore pitch. Australia were never in the hunt after India scored 399 for five to take an unassailable lead in the three-match series on Sunday. Warner 53 and Abbott 54 were the two Australian batsmen who got going before the visitors suffered their fifth ODI loss in a row.
When asked about the unusual method of Warner Abott, he said, “I think that's a testament to Ashwin's skills, to be honest, because I think if Davey's just going to sit there and bat left-handed and Ashwin, he's not going to miss his length too often, and with the ball spinning so much, he's got the one that goes the other way, the straighter one, and all the variations that go along with that.”
He further said, "David just thought he had to change it up. He plays golf right-handed. We obviously see how dynamic he is batting, like doing his switch hitting and stuff. So he weighed up those options. They actually might have spoken about it during the test match here in March.
Abbott, who himself staked a strong claim for a spot in the playing eleven for the World Cup with his clean hitting, also said, “He's done it before he practices it in the nets. So I was like, 'Oh, this is different,' but Davey's Davey, so we just let him crack on; he's a great competitor.”
