Australia just messed it up and lost at Gabba after 32 years: Deep Dasgupta on Tim Paine's 'sideshows' comment

Deep Dasgupta has reacted to Australia Test team captain Tim Paine's comment in which he stated that India are good at niggling and distracting their oppositions. Notably, India had defeated hosts Australia in the absence of several senior players in the 4th and decisive Test at Gabba in January.

Former India wicketkeeper-batsman Deep Dasgupta has reacted to Tim Paine's comment claiming that India are good at niggling and distracting their opponents. Australia Test team captain Paine, speaking to the press on Thursday, pointed fingers at reports of India unwilling to go to Brisbane for the final Test of the 4-match Test series as one of their efforts to distract the host team. While there was speculation about India's reluctance over quarantine rules in Brisbane, none of the players or the team management said they would not travel to Queensland. Eventually, the final Test went ahead at the Gabba only to see Australia lose in the format at the venue for the first time in 32 years.
