In Short
- India were just better than us throughout the (2018-19) series: Mitchell Starc
- Under Virat Kohli's captaincy, India defeated hosts Australia 2-1 in 2018-19
- This summer's certainly a chance to rectify that: Starc on previous mistakes
Australia pacer Mitchell Starc believes the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series against India will be a chance for the hosts to rectify their mistakes from the series defeat to Virat Kohli's team at home two summers ago.
Under Virat Kohli's leadership, India made history by winning their first Test series on Australian soil in the 2018-19 rubber. Recalling the 2018/19 series, Starc said that the Indian team were better than Australia with both and bowl during that summer.
"You never want to lose a series and you certainly never want to lose one in Australia," Mitchell Starc was quoted as saying by ESPN's The Cricket Monthly.
"India were just better than us throughout the (2018-19) series with bat and ball.
"Sure, we haven't hidden away from that. We needed to be better in all facets of the game and this summer's certainly a chance to rectify that," Starc added.
Starc is the most prolific wicket-taker in the short history of pink-ball Test cricket with 42, rejoined the team in Adelaide on Monday, giving him just two full days to prepare.
"I just felt I probably tuned into the noise too much, and I guess I went from someone who didn't mind seeing or reading that sort of stuff and taking that as motivation to prove people wrong..."
"Just with having multiple broadcasters and a whole bunch of radio and print and the rest, I probably read into that noise a bit too much," he said.
