Aus vs Ind: Paine Most Important Player For Australia, Says Coach Langer

By IANS News December 24, 2020 • 12:14 PM View: 2960

Australia head coach Justin Langer has praised his team's Test captain Tim Paine for his performance and leadership, calling him their "most important player". Langer, however, added that Adam Gilchrist remains the best-ever wicketkeeper-batsman for transforming the game of cricket.

Paine scored an unbeaten 73 against India in the first Test at the Adelaide Oval, rescuing his side from a precarious situation of 111/7 in the first innings and taking it to 191, just 53 runs short of India's total of 244. Australia then bundled out India for a mere 36 in the second innings and went on to win the match by eight wickets.
