Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting on Thursday gave a series of screenings for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy and said legendary Australian drummer Usman Khawaja would defeat Indian skipper Virat Kohli.
Cricket.com.au not only announced a 2-1 result in favor of Australia for the four-game campaign against India, but also suggested that Khawaja would be the top scorer and the series player.
"He is (Khawaja) at the top of his game, his record in Australia is remarkable. The threat of the Indian bowlers is perhaps as strong, but I think he has a game that allows him to get out here in Australia. I'll go with him to be the best scorer and man of the series, "said Ponting.

Ponting's forecast is based on history, as India has never won a series of tests in 11 attempts, while it has won only five of the 44 tests in Australia. "We are talking about 40 years of history with India coming to Australia and can not win because of the fast and dynamic nature of our land, I would therefore like to see them so. "
The new Perth stadium, which will host its first try, this year has proposed animated tracks for International One Day (ODI) against England and Africa. South
"If it is a wicket in Perth, as I saw it for a day In South Africa, I do not see India producing much up: it was a day and it was going all over the store, with a good pace and a good rebound, "he said.
as if it was the last few years, have a little more grbad on the surface (will suit Australia). I'd like to see a little grbad on the first two and then, I think that Australian will be able to put the series to bed after two tries, "he said, adding that extra life in the surfaces would give Khawaja the upper part. Hand on Kohli.
"Kohli will play well, I'm sure, because he plays everywhere he goes and had a nice run against Australia last time. Kohli is a bit more vulnerable in these conditions than Melbourne and Sydney, "he said.
In addition to Khawaja, Ponting also planned Australian pitcher Josh. Hazlewood as the main window taker of the series.
"Adelaide and Perth will suit him perfectly (Hazlewood), with his bowling style and the way he presents sewing in these places. Having six (feet) five or six (six feet) as well, he will exploit the rebound with which many Indians will not be comfortable, "concluded Ponting.
India will begin its long tour of the four-game test series starting Dec. 6 in Adelaide.
