IND vs AUS 2023: He gave me some good tips for the next time we’re in the subcontinent – Matthew Kuhnemann on Ravindra Jadeja

As soon as the fourth Test match was drawn, Australia’s greenhorn spinner Matthew Kuhnemann was seen in a conversation with Ravindra Jadeja, trying to pick the veteran’s brain. Kuhnemann revealed that Jadeja gave him some good advice which will surely help him whenever he next tours the subcontinent.

The left-arm spinner impressed in his maiden tour to India as he returned with figures of 5-16 in the first innings at Indore and thus he played an instrumental role in skittling the opposition at 109. Kuhnemann scalped nine wickets in three Test matches at an average of 31.11 and he was able to hit the right areas.

Matthew Kuhnemann said on AAP, “It was probably about 15 minutes, he was just giving me some awesome tips; we talked about everything. Nathan Lyon helped organised it as well. He was really impressed with Todd, ‘Gaz’ and myself so that was really cool to hear that from him.

“He gave me some good tips for the next time we’re in the subcontinent and some tips to go back home with as well. He was really nice and just said any time to reach out, and even sent me a message on Instagram, so that was pretty cool.”

On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja has all the experience of bowling in his own conditions and he took a total of 22 wickets in four Test matches at an average of 18.86. Furthermore, he scored 135 runs in the series and ergo he shared the Player of the Series award with his spin partner Ravichandran Ashwin.

Meanwhile, Kuhnemann was added to the Australian squad after Mitchell Swepson had to fly back home for the birth of his child.

The left-arm orthodox spinner revealed Australia’s veteran Nathan Lyon took him and Todd Murphy under his wing from the get-go in the series.

“The way that it happened, I wouldn’t change it for the world. Nathan Lyon took myself and Todd under his wing from the get-go, he was pretty much like a big brother to us over here.

“I think we’re very lucky to have ‘Gaz’ and his experience to learn off. I’m ready to get back in the nets, get back in there after speaking to Jadeja. I’m really keen to tinker with a couple of things, trying to just keep improving my skills and play as much cricket as I can.”

Australia will now face India in three-match ODI series, starting Friday in Mumbai.
