Usman Khawaja: “India can’t play with you!” – The story of the outcast who stormed back!

The pages of Usman Khawaja’s Test journey cover the high volatility that the stock market experiences.

Since his dream debut in the Ashes in 2011, the remote controlling his movement in Tests has passed into many hands. From injuries to Mickey Arthur’s homework controversy, Osman’s game was rolling. He is also an invited guest for the Australian team on every tour to Asian countries. Even if he is taken, there will be no place for him in the playing eleven. Not without reason.

2011 – 2017:

Playing a total of 5 matches in Asia, Uzum has a sub-continental average of just 14.62. 60 runs in two matches in Sri Lanka in 2011, 58 runs in 2 matches in Sri Lanka in 2016. Only the bitter experiences of the 2017 Bangladesh series, where he scored just one run in each of its two innings after playing one match, were shaken.

He lost his wicket to the spinners five times in the eight innings he bowled in those three series. These meager runs and weak spin flagged against him. His three centuries in three successive matches against New Zealand and the West Indies in 2015 could not do for him. As a result, he was denied a chance even during Australia’s two previous tours of India. How can Australia, who see winning a match here as an uphill climb, bet on him?
